The Spy’s Guide to Proper Grammar

The NSA’s guide to proper grammar has finally been released due to the Freedom of Information Act!

Now you know to not use the word “amidst” when describing the bomb being amidst between the two buildings!

Plus you can finally use proper grammar while interrogating your subject as nothing confuses an interrogee more than improper grammar, right?

The guide can be found here.

    Looks like the little NSA Guantanamo guide to proper waterboarding has also been released.

    The NSA assumes that the interrogee is willing to be interrogated in vernacular american, which is quite a bogus and indefensible premise.

    You mean there’s, don’t you?

    Oh, wait… that was a joke.

  • Camp Kohler – Sacto CA

    NSA has nothing to do with interrogation; that would be handled by the CIA, the military or specially-trained nuns.

    So, while we are stuck here in this sweaty, smelly server with chewing gum stuck on the floor—I hope it’s chewing gum!— we can see by the Twitpics that M is out partying it up. Typical! Gosh, she looks good in that clingy white thing. Yikes!

    An interesting document. Notice the redacting boxes covering information too vile your your tender, young minds (but OK for LeoNard, though). One wonders how much it cost to produce this valuable aid to spydom and whether, when a report is reduced the size of a microdot, whether anyone would notice if the grammar/style was correct.

    Ways to Mess With People in a Computer Lab

    1. Log on, wait a sec, then get a frightened look on your face and
    scream “Oh my God! They’ve found me!” and bolt.

    2. Laugh uncontrollably for about 3 minutes & then suddenly stop and
    look suspiciously at everyone who looks at you.

    3. When your computer is turned off, complain to the monitor on duty
    that you can’t get the damn thing to work. After he/she’s turned it
    on, wait 5 minutes, turn it off again, & repeat the process for a good
    half hour.

    4. Type frantically, often stopping to look at the person next to you
    evilly.

    5. Before anyone else is in the lab, connect each computer to
    different screen than the one it’s set up with.

    6. Write a program that plays the “Smurfs” theme song and play it at
    the highest volume possible over & over again.

    7. Work normally for a while. Suddenly look amazingly startled by
    something on the screen and crawl underneath the desk.

    8. Ask the person next to you if they know how to tap into top-secret
    Pentagon files.

    9. Use Interactive Send to make passes at people you don’t know.

    10. Make a small ritual sacrifice to the computer before you turn it
    on.

    How To Get A Life

    It’s never easy to overcome innate nerdity, a serious Internet
    addiction, or a hard-core computer gaming habit, but trying usually
    isn’t as painful as kidney stones. Here’s how:

    - Let go of the mouse.

    - Turn off the computer.

    - Play a game of solitaire with a real deck of cards.

    - Eat something other than taco chips.

    - Pass wind without recording it and putting it up your Web page.

    - Get some sleep in bed rather than on your keyboard.

    - Next time you wake up in the middle of the night to go to the
    bathroom, don’t tell everyone on your ICQ list about it.

    - Open a window without turning your computer back on (yes, it is
    possible). Very gradually expose your eyes to increasingly bright
    light so as to avoid damage or permanent sun blindness.

    - When you feel prepared for a massive dose of non-CRT radiation, put
    on welding goggles and go outside.

    - If you see someone, say “Hi” to them instead of trying to make the
    modem connect sound.

    - Visit a friend that you haven’t spoken to in years because they
    don’t have an email address.

    - Have “.com” officially removed from behind your name. Go on a date
    with someone you didn’t meet in a chat room.

    +– Robber paid $1 for gum –+

    FORT
    LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Police in Florida said a robber paid $1 for a pack
    of gum when store clerks explained they couldn’t open the register
    without a purchase. Fort Lauderdale police said the unidentified robber
    pointed a gun at an employee of the 1939 NW Ninth Ave. Family Dollar
    store June 1 and ordered a second clerk to open the register, the South
    Florida Sun Sentinel reported Monday.
    However, the clerks explained
    they could not open the register unless a purchase was made, and the
    robber took $1 from his pocket and paid for a pack of gum, police said.
    Police said the man fled with the money from the register, including his
    $1. The incident was recorded by security cameras. Investigators said
    the same man entered the neighboring Caribbean Mizik at 11:50 a.m. the
    following day and took money from the register.

    Three handsome male
    dogs are walking down the street when they see a beautiful, enticing,
    female Poodle. The three male dogs fall all over themselves in an effort
    to be the one to reach her first, but end up arriving in front of her
    at the same time. The males are speechless before her beauty, slobbering
    on themselves and hoping for just a glance from her in return. Aware of
    her charms and her obvious effect on the three suitors, she decides to
    be kind and tells them “The first one who can use the words “liver” and
    “cheese” together in an imaginative, intelligent sentence can go out
    with me.” The sturdy, muscular black Lab speaks up quickly and says “I
    love liver and cheese.” “Oh, how childish,” said the Poodle. “That shows
    no imagination or intelligence whatsoever.” She turned to the tall,
    shiny Golden Retriever and said “How well can you do?” “Ummmm…I HATE
    liver and cheese,” blurts the Golden Retriever. “My, my,” said the
    Poodle. “I guess it’s hopeless. That’s just as dumb as the Lab’s
    sentence.” She then turns to the last of the three dogs and says, “How
    about you, little guy?” The last of the three, tiny in stature but big
    in fame and finesse, is the Taco Bell chihuahua. He gives her a smile, a
    sly wink, turns to the Golden Retriever and the Lab and says… 

    “Liver alone. Cheese mine.”

    Dear Marina,
    It’s good of you to show a guide to good grammar. Too bad our education system is so ineffective that many use bad grammar in their posts.  What thoughtful tweets and beautiful twitpix you posted, recently.  You certainly know how to take glamor photographs! You finely adjust the abgle of your hips, the position of your legs, show your slender waist and beautiful bosom.  Even though you dine in the finest restaurants, you work hard to keep yourself thin, and you present such lovliness in your videos!  I hope you never get tired of producing videos for all your followers!

    Don’t Forget The Mirror

    A mother was taking a shower when her2 year old son came into the
    bathroom and wrapped himself in toilet paper. Although he made a mess,
    he looked adorable, so she ran for my camera and took a few shots.
    They came out so well that she had copies made and included one with
    each of their Christmas cards.

    Days later, a relative called about the picture, laughing
    hysterically, and suggesting that she take a closer look. Puzzled, the
    mother stared at the photo and was shocked to discover that in
    addition to her son, she had captured her reflection in the mirror
    wearing nothing but a camera!

    Keep it Down!

    An introvert went to bar and spots a pretty looking woman sitting on
    the stool. He mustered all his courage for long time, then timidly
    approached and asked her, “Ma’am, would be OK if sit here and talk
    with you?”

    She was alert, suspecting this man, and responds by yelling, “No, I
    won’t sleep with you tonight!” Customers in the bar started staring at
    them. The embarrassed guy quickly returns to his table dejected and
    ashamed.

    The young woman waits a little and then goes to the guy to apologize.
    With a smile on her face she says, “I am sorry if I embarrassed you.
    You see, I am a college student in psychiatry and I am putting
    together a thesis as to how people react to embarrassing moments.”

    The cunning guy now yells loudly, “What do you mean by $500?”

    The Service

    One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex was staring up at
    the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church.

    It was covered with names, and small American flags were mounted on
    either side of it.

    The seven-year-old had been staring at th e plaque for some time, so
    the pastor walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, “Good
    morning, Alex.”

    “Good morning,” replied the young man, still focused on the plaque.

    “What is this?” Alex asked.

    “Well, son, it’s a memorial to all the young men and women who died in
    the service.”

    Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque.

    Little Alex’s voice was trembling and barely audible when he asked,
    “Which service, the 9:45 or the 11:15?”

    Bar & Drinking Joke.
    A bar owner locked up his place at 2 AM and went home to
    sleep. He had been in bed only a few minutes when the phone rang. “What
    time do you open up in the morning?” he heard an obviously inebriated
    man inquire.
    The owner was so furious, he slammed down the receiver and went back to
    bed. A few minutes later there was another call and he heard the same
    voice ask the same question. “Listen, the owner shouted, “there’s no
    sense in asking me what time I open because I wouldn’t let a person in
    your condition in—”
    “I don’t want to get in,” the caller interjected. “I want to get out.”

    Key to relationships

    Hearing is inherent, but listening is learned. In a
    relationship, nothing is more important than listening to the other
    partner.Okay. Say you have somehow embedded a fishhook in your ass and you’re a
    little embarrassed about it. So you go hide in a closet. Maybe a little
    unusual, but that is exactly what happened to this particular Maryland
    man.
    How the fish hook got in his buttocks the story does not
    specify, and the reasoning behind hiding in the closet we can only
    speculate on. But what happened next is the truly bizarre part, because
    we would not know about this story if the man had not begun firing his
    .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol.
    Police responded to a noise
    complaint from neighbors. After knocking on the door of the man in
    question he eventually answered and admitted to the police that he had
    fired the gun hoping they would arrive and help him with his problem.
    He was handcuffed and then transported to the Hospital.
    Maybe
    he didn’t have a telephone. Maybe he was too embarrassed to go to a
    neighbor and ask for help. But the most puzzling question still
    remains…how in the hell did he get a fish hook stuck in his ass?

    +– Mink coat hidden in panties for 3 days –+

    BLOOMINGTON,
    Minn. – A Minnesota woman accused of concealing a stolen mink coat in
    her underwear for three days pleaded guilty to a theft charge.
    Bloomington police said Stephanie Moreland, 46, was arrested on a felony
    theft charge on New Year’s Eve after employees at the Alaska Fur
    Company accused her of stealing the short mink coat, valued at $6,500,
    WCCO-TV, Minneapolis, reported Wednesday. A sales associate at the store
    took down Moreland’s license plate number and police located the woman
    and her car a short time later, but the only sign of the coat was an
    empty hanger, police said. Moreland was booked into jail and she
    admitted three days later to having stolen the coat, but she claimed it
    had already been sold. However, when told she would be taken to the
    Hennepin County Jail downtown, Moreland lifted up her dress and revealed
    the coat had been shoved into her underwear. “She had modified her
    underwear. She actually cut the rear of the underwear out so that from
    the back it appeared she was not wearing underwear and then stuffed it
    down the front,” Bloomington Police Cmdr. Mark Stehlik said. Moreland
    pleaded guilty to the theft charge Monday and is due to be sentenced
    Aug. 8.

    Panda Lunch

    eats the sandwich, pulls out a gun, and shoots the waiter dead.

    As the panda stands up to leave, the manager shouts, “Hey! Where are

    sandwich!”

    The panda yells back at the manager, “Hey man, I’m a PANDA! Look it

    The manager opens his dictionary and sees the following definition for
    panda: “A tree dwelling marsupial of Asian origin, characterized by

    Heart Surgeon

    Jerry was removing some engine valves from a car on the lift when he
    spotted the famous heart surgeon Dr. Samuel Kaiser, who was standing
    off to the side, waiting for the service manager.

    Jerry, who was somewhat of a loud mouth, shouted across the garage,
    “Hey Kaiser. Is dat you? Come over here a minute.”

    The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where Jerry was
    working on the car. Jerry, in a loud voice that all could hear, said
    argumentatively, “So Mr. fancy doctor, look at this work. I too, take
    valves out, grind ‘em, put in new parts, and when I’m finished, this
    baby will purr like a kitten. So how come you get the big bucks, when
    you and me are doing basically the same work?”

    Dr. Kaiser, very embarrassed, shook his head and replied in a soft
    voice, “Try doing your work with the engine running.”

    Roulette

    A lady is having a bad day at the roulette tables in Las Vegas. She’s
    down to her last $50. Exasperated, she exclaims, “What rotten luck!
    What in the world should I do now?”

    A man standing next to her, trying to calm her down, suggests, “I
    don’t know. Why don’t you play your age?” Then he walked away.

    Moments later, his attention is grabbed by a great commotion at the
    roulette table. Maybe, she won! He rushes back to the table and pushes
    his way through the crowd. The lady is lying limp on the floor, with
    the table operator kneeling over her.

    The man is stunned. He asks, “What happened? Is she alright?”

    The roulette wheel operator replied, “I don’t know. She put all her
    money on 29. When 36 came up, she just fainted!”

    Two interesting videos from the library. The first, Food, Inc., about the industrialization of food production in the US showed how all production is being concentrated in few commercial hands. Cows in feedlots up to their knees in poop would lose 80% of E. Coli in their gut if they were fed grass (vs. the normal corn) for only 5 days, thus reducing meat contamination. A small rancher slaughters his chickens under an open-air canopy and the county tries to close him down for that unsanitary practice. He beat it by lab analysis of his product: ordinary supermarket chickens had 27 times the bacteria of his chickens! Monsanto has “seed police” checking up on farmers to prevent them from saving seed from one year to plant the next, because they own the patent on the seed’s genes. One 1 of 3 kids since 2000 (and 1 out of two minority) will get early onset diabetes because of poor diet. And so on.

    The other was a US Dept of Interior six-DVD set on the National Dam Safety Program. The one I saw “starred” Dr. Ralph B. Peck, an old engineer who has kicked the bucket since he was taped in ’95. His talk was on seepage and piping as mechanisms for dam failure at a fairly technical level that I was just able to comprehend. (It’s not for Joe Sixpack, who wouldn’t know schist from Shineola.) With almost zero uhs, you-knows, and other hesitations, he articulately explained all the stuff that no one knew only a few decades before about soil mechanics that caused damns to fail when first filled or even years later despite all the brainwork that went into designing them. One damn had the entire ground washed out from under it and the fact that it remained suspended in midair was described as a testament to how strong the dam was, but he said, “….it was no dam at all” with a smile. He appeared most amused when describing how dam caretakers houses were built downstream of the dam, meaning that it was a great incentive for them not to be lazy. Dams require constant vigilance. One guy went out on his rounds even though it was a holiday and found a “pipe” (water leaking through the dam) and reported it. They drew the water down and thus prevented certain failure and the dumping of the entire reservoir into the downstream community. Dr. Peck was hightly impressed with that fellow.  I am going to watch the other five videos.

    You might be able to get your libraries to get these videos.

    Dear Marina,
    Here is another word request:  [snore].  It’s a noise people make when sleeping and it’s borrowed from Dutch (snorken) or German (schnarchen).  In Russian, the word is xpan.  I’m sure you can make  a neat little video to show how girls with small noses snore softly, while girls with great big noses snore so loudly that the bed shakes!

    Shit talking, for lack of a better word, is good. (Even better than plagiarism.) Shit talking—which we will define here as

    “talking trash for fun,”

    is a fundamental skill that should be ingrained in all American children at a young age. Not only the ability to talk shit, but the ability to recognize when shit is being talked, and to react properly. A surprisingly large percentage of internet commenters and media pundits, sadly, appear to have never learned these valuable lessons.   sourced:   http://gawker.com/5816217/in-defense-of-shit-talking   Everyone hear this:  Asher Monroe “Back For

    “Stuff that will elicit strong emotions from people in every walk of
    life. I want my writing to make them scream, cry, howl in pain and

    Big Date

    A young man called his mother and announced excitedly that he had just
    met the woman of his dreams. Now what should he do?

    His mother had an idea: “Why don’t you send her flowers, and on the
    card invite her to your apartment for a home- cooked meal?”

    He thought this was a great strategy, and a week later, the woman came
    to dinner. His mother called the next day to see how things had gone.

    “I was totally humiliated,” he moaned. “She insisted on washing the
    dishes.”

    “What’s wrong with that?” asked his mother. “I think it’s a wonderful
    gesture.”

    “We hadn’t started eating yet.”

    A man with a wooden
    eye was very sensitive about his eye for fear of people making fun of
    him. One day this man decides to go out and have some fun. So, he goes
    to a bar and orders a beer. Then, out of the corner of his eye he sees a
    woman with a flat face. He thinks,” Well, she wouldn’t make fun of me
    because she would understand how I feel.” So, he finally gathers up the
    courage to talk to her, he goes over and asks her, “Would you like to
    have dinner with me sometime?” And the woman answers, “Would I!!!” (Wood
    Eye) The man, obviously offended, screams, “flat face!!!” and storms

    A woman who died found herself standing outside the Pearly Gates, being greeted by St. Peter.

    She asked him, “Oh, is this place what I really think it is? It’s so beautiful.

    Did I really make it to heaven?”

    To which St. Peter replied, “Yes, my dear, these are the Gates to
    Heaven. But you must do one more thing before you can enter.” The woman
    was very excited, and asked of St. Peter what she must do to pass
    through the gates. “Spell a word,” St. Peter replied. “What word?” she
    asked.

    “Any word,” answered St. Peter. “It’s your choice.” The woman promptly replied, “Then the word I will spell is love.L-o-v-e.”

    St. Peter congratulated her on her good fortune to have made it to
    Heaven, and asked her if she would mind taking his place at the gates
    for a few minutes while he went to the bathroom.

    “I’d be honored,” she said, “but what should I do if someone comes while you are gone?”

    St. Peter reassured her, and instructed the woman to simply have any
    newcomers to the Pearly Gates to spell a word as she had done.

    So the woman is left sitting in St. Peter’s chair and watching the
    beautiful angels soaring around her when a man approaches the gates. She
    realizes it is her loser husband.

    “What happened?” she cried, “Why are you here?”

    Her husband stared at her for a moment, then said, “I was so drunk when I
    left your funeral, I was in an accident. And now I am here? Did I
    really make it to Heaven?”

    To which the woman replied, “Not yet. You must spell a word first.”

    “What word?” he asked.

    The woman responded, “Czechoslovakia.”

    Proverbs

    Hope is Eternal

    “All the darkness of the world cannot

    put out the light of one small candle.”
    An elderly couple
    is beginning to notice that neither of them seem to be able to remember
    things as well as they used to. So, they go to see their doctor, who
    explains that there is nothing really wrong with, just typical memory
    loss associated with old age. He suggests that they each get notebooks
    and write notes to themselves to help remember things. The couple goes
    home and that evening while watching T.V. the man gets up and heads for
    the kitchen. His wife asks if he can bring her some ice cream when he
    returns. He says he will, and she says he should write it down. “I’m
    just going to the kitchen, I’ll remember.” “Well, I want that with
    nuts, too.” “O.K. he says ice cream with nuts.” She asks again if he’s
    going to write it down. “No, I’m just going to the kitchen.” “And a
    Cherry on the top?” He agrees and turns toward the kitchen again and
    she asks again about writing it down. Now the old man is angry, “Look,
    old lady I’m not senile, I can remember ice cream with nuts and a cherry
    on top.” He goes in the kitchen for 10 minutes and when he returns he
    sets a plate of bacon and eggs in front of his wife. She looks up and
    says, “Honey, you forgot my toast.”

    BRIDGEWATER,
    Ohio – Authorities in Ohio, responding to a report of a domestic
    dispute, said a woman sprayed them with her breast milk while they were
    attempting to detain her. The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office said they
    were called to the Bridgewater Banquet & Conference Center early
    Saturday on a report of a domestic dispute and a man there told them he
    had been attending a wedding with his wife, who he said became drunk and
    struck him multiple times, WBNS-TV, Columbus, reported Monday. County
    Sheriff Walter Davis III said the woman, Stephanie Robinette, 30, of
    Westerville, had locked herself in a car and deputies attempted to coax
    her out, but she was uncooperative. “When deputies attempted to remove
    Robinette from the vehicle, she advised the deputies that she was a
    breast-feeding mother and proceeded to remove her right breast from her
    dress and began spraying deputies and the vehicle with her breast milk,”
    Davis said. Davis said Robinette was arrested and charged with domestic
    violence, assault, obstructing official business, resisting arrest and
    disorderly conduct.

    COAST, Australia – An Australian beach volleyball player says she is
    selling ad space on her body to help her attempt to make it into next
    year’s Olympic Games in London. Claire Kelly said she is selling tattoo
    space on her body for $10,400 to $52,000 so she and her partner, Carla

    required 12 events to qualify for the Olympics, Melbourne’s Herald Sun
    reported Monday. “It’s taken me months to get the courage to do this and
    now I’m going through with it,” Kelly said. “I was thinking, ‘Tattoo my
    body with a business logo just so I can have a chance to play for my
    country at the Olympics? I’m crazy’! “This is my dream and it seems
    crazy not to try to do something to realize the dream. We need to head
    off on the world tour before the end of July. We need financial backing,
    so I can’t let fear stop me,” she said. Kelly said she is not concerned
    about potential criticism of her moneymaking scheme. “The tattoos mean
    much more than just the money or the business,” she said. “The tattoos
    signify having the courage to have a crack at something bigger, having
    the guts to at least try.”

    “All dreams of the same night belong, in respect of their content, to the same
    whole; their division into several parts, their grouping and number, are all
    full of meaning and may be regarded as pieces of information about the latent
    dream-thoughts. In the interpretation of dreams consisting of several main
    sections, or of dreams belonging to the same night, we must not overlook the
    possibility that these different and successive dreams mean the same thing,
    expressing the same impulses in different material. That one of these
    homologous dreams which comes first in time is usually the most distorted
    and most bashful, while the next dream is bolder and more
    distinct.”

    Trouble with R’s

    A young schoolboy was having a hard time pronouncing the letter ”R,”
    and all the other kids were, of course, teasing him about it. To help
    him out, the teacher gave him a sentence to practice at home: ”Robert
    gave Richard a rap in the ribs for roasting the rabbit so rare.” In
    class a few days later, the teacher asked the boy to recite the
    sentence out loud.

    The boy nervously eyed his classmates–many of them already laughing
    at him–then replied, ”Bob gave Dick a poke in the side because the
    bunny wasn’t cooked enough.”

    ill, another actor who was quite overweight took his place. When the
    new actor announced, “I descend into hell!” the stagehand pulled the
    rope, and the actor began his plunge, but became hopelessly stuck. No
    amount of tugging on the rope could make him descend.

    One student in the balcony jumped up and yelled: “Hallelujah! Hell is

    College Drama

    A college drama group presented a play in which one character would
    stand on a trap door and announce, “I descend into hell!”

    A stagehand below would then pull a rope, the trapdoor would spring,
    and the actor would drop from view.

    Blind Date

    Joe sets up his friend Mike on a blind date with a young lady-friend
    of his. But Mike is a little worried about going out with someone he’s
    never seen before. “What do I do if she’s really unattractive?” says
    Mike. “I’ll be stuck with her all night.”

    “Don’t worry,” Joe says, “just go up to her door and meet her first.
    If you like what you see, then everything goes as planned. If you
    don’t just shout ‘Aaaaaauuuggghhh!’ and fake an asthma attack.”

    So that night, Mike knocks at the girl’s door and when she comes out
    he is awe-struck at how attractive and sexy she is. He’s about to
    speak when the girl suddenly shouts:

    “Aaaaaauuuggghhh!”

    Did everyone enjoy their Fourth of July holiday? Our little barbecue went off almost without a hitch.

    I
    barbecued for my family and a few friends. I might have been a little
    overly generous when I let my son bring a few of his friends over. I
    didn’t even disapprove when they started shooting off bottle rockets at
    dusk. But when a roman candle ended up in my wife’s Azalea bushes I
    kicked them all out.

    But other than that it was as typical an
    all-American barbecue as you could get. We even had corn on the cob and
    potato salad. Of course, I had a huge tray of my special lamb-ka-bobs
    a-la Lewis which I marinated in lemon juice and olive oil overnight.

    If
    you’ve never tried these I pretty much guarantee you’ll love them. I
    usually rub them with a combination of ground sea salt and lemon pepper
    before skewering them and then I brush them with a little more olive oil
    when they’re on the grill to keep them moist.

    Plus, the wife
    prepared an absolutely fabulous wild rice dish which is similar to a
    rice pilaf. And for those who wanted a change of pace from the lamb we
    also had a few pounds worth of sirloin burgers. But believe me, the
    lamb-ka-bobs were the star of the show.

    And it turned out to be a gorgeous day. Mid to upper 80s and sunny. For once I didn’t mind a little global warming.

    +– Man sues over jail’s porn ban –+

    MT.
    CLEMENS, Mich. – A Michigan man who pleaded guilty to bank robbery
    filed a lawsuit against Gov. Rick Snyder alleging a jail’s pornography
    ban is cruel and unusual punishment. Kyle Richards, 21, of Fraser, who
    has been in the Macomb County Jail since his bank robbery arrest in
    January and pleaded guilty to the crime Thursday, filed a five-page
    handwritten lawsuit June 10 in U.S. District Court in Detroit asking a
    judge to rule for jail inmates to be allowed to possess pornography as
    well as TVs, radios and video games, The Detroit News reported Monday.
    “Such living conditions have been used as a method of ‘psychological
    warfare’ against prisoners, in order to both destroy the morale of
    inmates and break the spirit of individuals,” Richards wrote in the
    suit. John Cordell said state prisons allow inmates to possess
    pornographic materials including Playboy and Penthouse magazines. The
    pornography ban at the Macomb County Jail is a county policy, officials
    said. Richards has filed several lawsuits in federal court since last
    year, including at least three tossed by judges who called them
    frivolous.

    Hoover!

    Father Murphy was playing golf with a parishioner. On the first hole,
    he sliced into the rough. His opponent heard him mutter, “Hoover!”
    under his breath.

    On the second hole, the ball went straight into a water hazard.
    “Hoover!” again, a little louder this time.

    On the third hole, a miracle occured & Fr. Murphy’s drive landed on
    the green only six inches from the hole! “Praise be to God!”

    He carefully lined up the putt, but the ball curved around the hole
    instead of going in. “HOOVER!”

    By this time, his opponent couldn’t withhold his curiosity any longer,
    and asked why the priest said “Hoover”.

    “It’s the biggest dam I know.” he replied.

    he local sheriff
    was looking for a deputy, so Gomer, who was not exactly the sharpest
    nail in the bucket, went in to try out for the job.

    “Okay,” the sheriff drawled, “Gomer, what is 1 and 1?”

    “11″ he replied.

    The sheriff thought to himself, “That’s not what I meant, but he’s right. What two days of the week start with the letter ‘T’?”

    “Today and tomorrow.”

    The sheriff was again surprised that Gomer supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself.

    “Now Gomer, listen carefully: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?”

    Gomer looked a little surprised himself, then thought really hard for a minute and finally admitted, “I don’t know.”

    “Well, why don’t you go home and work on that one for a while?”

    So, Gomer wandered over to the barbershop where his pals were waiting to
    hear the results of the interview. Gomer was exultant. “It went great!
    First day on the job and I’m already working on a murder case!”

    Work Joke

    The photographer for a national magazine was assigned to
    get photos of a great forest fire. Smoke at the scene was too thick to
    get any good shots, so he frantically called his home office to hire a
    plane. “It will be waiting for you at the airport!” he was assured by
    his editor. As soon as he got to the small, rural airport, sure enough, a
    plane was warming up near the runway. He jumped in with his equipment
    and yelled, “Let’s go! Let’s go!” The pilot swung the plane into the
    wind and soon they were in the air. “Fly over the north side of the
    fire,” said the photographer, “and make three or four low level passes.”
    “Why?” asked the pilot. “Because I’m going to take pictures! I’m a
    photographer, and photographers take pictures!” said the photographer
    with great exasperation. After a long pause the pilot said, “You mean
    you’re not the instructor?”

    Dear Marina, Here is a word request: [Jalopy}  (An old, decripit car.)
    There are many theories about it’s origin:
    The Yiddish word “schlappe” means an old horse.
    The French word “chaloupe” describes a small boat.
    In Mexico, the city of “Jaloupe” was known for having old cars.
    The Spanish word “Galopaga” means turtle, a slow-moving animal.
    In old New York city, Italian immigrants sold jellied apples from wooden carts called “Jell Oppies..”
    What an opportunity for a brilliant philologist to clarify the origin of this word!
    SeesixCM6

  • http://hotforword.com Camp Kohler – Sacto CA

    Jalopy is an East Indian word meaning a mechanical elephant, which is what they called their native-built automobiles. In order to not scare off customers used to the animal, but almost dumbfounded its mechanical replacement, these vehicles was shaped roughly like an elephant and included a trunk-like projection in the front to complete the analogy.

        Unfortunately, the first design had a defective transmission due to short-lived forward gears. However, the reverse gear was relatively well made, and so nearly all of these vehicles eventually wound up being driven backwards at all times. That is why to this day, the “trunk” is located at the rear of an automobile (except for rear-engined vehicles).

        It’s true, I tell you.

    Watching The Lord of the Rings written by a fellow philologist Tolkien. Its the second best-selling novel ever written!

    “…more than the interest and uses of the study of Welsh as
    an adminicle of English philology, more than the practical linguist’s desire to
    acquire a knowledge of Welsh for the enlargement of his experience, more even
    than the interest and worth of the literature, older and newer, that is
    preserved in it, these two things seem important: Welsh is of this soil, this
    island, the senior language of the men of Britain; and Welsh is beautiful.”

     Mother Teresa and God

    Mother Teresa died and went to heaven. God greeted her at the Pearly
    Gates. “Be thou hungry, Mother Teresa?” asked God.

    “I could eat,” Mother Teresa replied.

    So God opened a can of tuna and reached for a chunk of rye bread and
    they began to share it. While eating this humble meal, Mother Teresa
    looked down into Hell and saw the inhabitants devouring huge steaks,
    lobsters, pheasants, and pastries. Curious, but deeply trusting, she
    remained quiet.

    The next day God again invited her to join him for a meal. Again, it
    was tuna and rye bread. Once again, Mother Teresa could see the
    denizens of Hell enjoying lamb, turkey, venison, and delicious
    desserts. Still she said nothing.

    The following day, mealtime arrived and another can of tuna was
    opened. She couldn’t contain herself any longer. Meekly, she asked,
    “God, I am grateful to be in heaven with you as a reward for the
    pious, obedient life I led. But here in heaven all I get to eat is
    tuna and a piece of rye bread and in the Other Place they eat like
    emperors and kings! I just don’t understand it…”

    God sighed. “Let’s be honest Teresa,” He said, “for just two people,
    it doesn’t pay to cook.”

    “Our planet, our society, and we ourselves are built of star stuff.”—Carl Sagan, Cosmos 
    The Star In You?

    Here’s an amazing fact for your next cocktail party: Every single atom
    in your body—the calcium in your bones, the carbon in your genes, the
    iron in your blood, the gold in your filling—was created in a star
    billions of years ago. All except atoms of hydrogen and one or two of
    the next lightest elements. They were formed even earlier, shortly after the Big Bang began 13.7 billion years ago.

    As hard as it might be to believe, every atom in your body,
    astrophysicists say, originated billions of years ago in a star or in
    the explosive aftermath of the Big Bang. Here, a close-up of Polaris,
    the North Star. Enlarge
    Photo credit: NASA, ESA, G. Bacon (STScI)

    It’s true, according to astrophysicists. You and everything around you,
    every single natural and man-made thing you can see, every rock, tree,
    butterfly, and building, comprises atoms that originally arose during
    the Big Bang or, for all but the lightest two or three elements, from
    millions of burning and exploding stars far back in the history of the
    universe. You live because stars died; it’s that simple.

    How is this so? How can you possibly be a walking galaxy of fossil
    stardust? Well, the story is not a new one, but it bears retelling, if
    only because its working out was one of the finest achievements of
    20th-century astrophysics—and because it’s so astonishing.

    The start of it all

    The story begins at the beginning, as in the Big Bang. That is when, astrophysicists say, all
    the hydrogen in the universe came into being. Initially it was just
    protons, and then, as the young universe expanded and cooled, these
    became bound to electrons, forming hydrogen atoms. The very hydrogen
    atoms in the H2O that makes up over half your body were born
    then. They didn’t come from your parents; they came from the early
    universe. Did you have any idea you have atoms in your body that are
    over 13 billion years old?

    If you could separate one hydrogen atom from one molecule of water in
    your body, shrink down to its atomically tiny size like the scientists
    in Fantastic Voyage, then reverse time and follow it back
    to through its unimaginable lifetime, you would find yourself in the
    immediate aftermath of the Big Bang. That very hydrogen atom, an atom
    now inside you as you read this, has remained unchanged since the
    beginning of time.

    Over 13 billion years since the Big Bang, hydrogen and helium still
    make up most of the visible matter in the universe. Nearly 10,000
    galaxies appear in this Hubble Ultra Deep Field image. Enlarge

    The Big Bang also churned out helium, the next lightest element. You
    don’t have any helium in you, unless you just sucked the gas out of a
    birthday balloon. But helium is the second most common element after
    hydrogen. Together they make up more than 98 percent of the matter in
    the universe. (Luminous matter, that is; dark matter is a whole other
    story.) A smattering of lithium (element 3) and one or two other of the
    lightest elements also formed in the Bang, but these were negligible.

    Everything else, every other chemical element, including carbon,
    oxygen, nitrogen, and all the other elements essential for your life, is
    thought to have been fabricated in stars.

    How? Well, the story is either simple or horrendously complex depending
    on whether you’re a science writer or a scientist. Here’s the simple
    story:

    Table for 118

    First, what are we talking about when we talk about an element? A
    chemical element is a substance that cannot be broken down or changed
    into another substance using chemical means. It can be changed using nuclear means, which is what happens inside stars.

    Every second, the sun converts about 500 million tons of hydrogen into helium.

    As we learn in high school chemistry—and can remind ourselves with a quick glance at the Periodic Table—hydrogen,
    the lightest element, has one proton in its nucleus and thus is given
    the atomic number 1. Helium has two protons and so is number 2, and so
    on all the way up to uranium, which, with 92 protons in its nucleus, is
    the heaviest of the “naturally occurring” elements.

    Remarkably, all life on Earth, all everything we see around
    us, consists of various combinations of those 92 elements. There are
    still heavier elements, ranging from neptunium (93) all the way up to
    the unofficially named ununoctium (118), though with the exception of
    trace amounts of neptunium and plutonium (94), these are not found
    naturally on Earth.

    billion years old—might have looked during an intense period of hydrogen
    conversion into myriad stars Enlarge

    Stars are born

    How did—and do, for the process continues today—all the chemical elements first come into existence?

    Several hundred million years after the Big Bang, about 13 billion
    years ago, the hydrogen and helium in the early universe began
    coalescing into gas clouds, which, in turn, collapsed into the first
    stars. Gravity, that not-to-be-denied force, caused these newborn stars
    to contract, heating their cores to temperatures high enough to ignite
    their hydrogen and trigger its fusion into helium.

    This is the first link in a chain of thermonuclear reactions that,
    depending on the size of the star and its fate, bring about the genesis
    of all the other chemical elements up to about californium, element 98.
    (Heavier elements than that are produced only in particle accelerators,
    physicists believe.) Imagine starting out in your kitchen with just a
    single natural ingredient and, after baking it in your oven, winding up
    with all other possible natural ingredients. This is what the universe
    has done with hydrogen.

    The burning of H to He is what our star, the sun, does for a living. In
    the searing heat of its core—about 27 million °F—the reaction of four
    hydrogen nuclei fusing to become one helium nucleus happens over and
    over and over again, ad infinitum. Every second, the sun converts about
    500 million tons of hydrogen into helium. (And for every helium atom
    formed, roughly a trillion photons are emitted from the sun’s surface.
    This is why we wear sunglasses.)

    Cooking elements

    Our star enables us to live, but at this stage in its own life, it
    doesn’t give us any elements heavier than helium. It’s not massive
    enough. With stars more massive than ours, and up to about eight times
    its mass*,
    gravity is forcible enough to compress the core sufficiently to trigger
    nuclear reactions that produce heavier elements, starting with carbon
    (element 6) and oxygen (8). In such cores, the heat is high enough,
    about 180 million °F, to force three helium nuclei to fuse into a carbon
    nucleus, or four helium nuclei into an oxygen nucleus, millions of
    times over. This will happen in the sun when it becomes a red giant in
    five billion years.

    In its fiery core, our star, the sun, produces only a single chemical element—helium—over and over again. Enlarge
    Photo credit: NASA

    In very massive stars, those of more than eight solar masses, the force
    of gravity drives the temperature in the core up so outlandishly high
    that it triggers thermonuclear reactions that create elements all the
    way up to iron (26). At 1,080 million °F, carbon fuses into neon; at
    2,700 million °F, oxygen fuses into silicon; and at 7,200 million °F,
    silicon fuses into iron.

    Iron, alas, marks a major turning point when it comes to fusing
    ever-heavier elements inside stars. All the way up to iron, every time a
    new fusion reaction occurs, some heat is released. With iron, no other
    rearrangement of nuclei can generate any more energy. But stars do form
    elements heavier than iron, including cherished ones like silver and
    gold, dangerous ones like radon and uranium, and ones you’ve never heard
    of (or could pronounce if you had) like praseodymium and ytterbium.

    Two ways to you

    Stars have one of two ways to produce these heavier-than-iron
    elements—and, not incidentally, to get them and all the other elements
    forged in their nuclear furnaces out into space so they can be
    incorporated into new stars, planets, and people.

    Some of that widely dispersed stardust is holding you up right now.

    The first way occurs in red giants. These are stars that have burned up
    all the hydrogen in their centers. When that happens, the star becomes,
    as the astrophysicist Craig Wheeler has put it, somewhat schizophrenic:
    The core loses energy, contracts, and heats up even as the envelope—the
    rest of the star outside the core—gains energy, expands, and cools (and
    appears redder). The expansion is quite, well, expansive: When our sun
    becomes a red giant, it will grow so large that it will engulf and
    evaporate the inner planets, including the Earth.

    Some red giants last long enough to create elements in their cores
    heavier than iron through something called the s-process, for slow. Over
    a time scale of thousands of years, the s-process can result in the
    manufacture of elements all the way up to bismuth (83). These get pulled
    to the star’s surface by convection and sloughed off into space via the
    star’s stellar wind. Some of that widely dispersed stardust is holding
    you up right now.

    This spectacular false-color image shows Cassiopeia A, the remnant of
    a supernova. At the center of the image lies the dead star, while
    surrounding it is the rapidly expanding shell of material blasted away
    from the star as it died. Enlarge

    A real blast

    Elements heavier than bismuth only arise through the r-process, for
    rapid. How rapid? Seconds flat. The r-process is what happens when a
    star explodes in a supernova. It’s easy for us to think of stars as
    lasting essentially forever, but the most massive stars survive only a
    few million years—a cosmic moment, really—and when they go, they go
    fast.

    What happens? When a red giant gets to the stage of having fused all
    its lighter elements and is left with an iron core, the star can no
    longer retain its equilibrium—heat energy pushing out as gravity pulls
    in. Gravity suddenly gains the upper hand, collapsing the core all at
    once to billions of times the density of the Earth. The star then blows
    itself apart in an astronomical cataclysm. For a brief period, it shines
    as brightly as an entire galaxy and releases as much energy as our sun
    will in its 10-billion-year lifetime.

    In the first few seconds, protons in the atoms created during the
    star’s life collide with highly energetic neutrons, fashioning in an
    instant all the naturally occurring elements heavier than bismuth up to
    uranium, and even a few short-lived still-heavier elements such as
    plutonium and californium. All these blast out into space at millions of
    miles an hour, seeding the interstellar medium with the atoms that
    eventually end up in new stars, new solar systems, and, in your case,
    you.

    In this view of the Carina Nebula, the Hubble Space Telescope
    captured a tumult of star birth and death. In the image, green
    corresponds to hydrogen, blue to oxygen, and red to sulfur—three of the
    92 naturally occurring elements that space has bequeathed to us. Enlarge

    The birth of you

    Over time, molecular clouds of gas and dust out in deep space develop
    from those strewn elements and begin to contract under their own
    gravity. Such clouds are almost all hydrogen and helium, but they’ve got
    a scatter of heavier elements, too. And the most abundant elements
    begin to assemble into molecules, simple ones like water (H2O) and more complex ones like the sugar glycoaldehyde (C2H4O2). Astronomers can identify these compounds, and individual elements, using spectrometers.

    Eventually, a kind of raw-clay star called a proto-star forms, with a
    disk of material surrounding it that will eventually beget planets. That
    process happened in our own solar system about five billion years ago,
    resulting in the sun, the planets, and, five billion years later, you.

    Did you have any idea you have atoms in your body that are over 13 billion years old?

    Just how those atoms and molecules that ended up on our planet went
    from non-living to living remains one of the great unanswered questions
    in science. But where the elements came from to start with has now been
    worked out, in broad strokes anyway, to astrophysicists’ widespread
    satisfaction. It is an amazing story, isn’t it?

     

    *While still being sorted out,
    current estimates hold that, in time, stars below about eight solar
    masses collapse into white dwarfs, a very dense ex-star; those between
    about eight and 30 solar masses explode in supernovae (and release their
    heavy elements); and, with certain exceptions, those between about 30
    and 100 solar masses collapse into black holes (and retain their heavy
    elements).

    Where Did We Come From
    The importance of stars and planets, and their alignment, and powers, and their real true meanings and purpose, did our ansesters see certain things happen, as the stars and plants moved, and alined at a certain, pattern, or alignment, in time and space itself, The star and the Sun, one of our most important star, or is it and they possibly much more than just pretty glowing stars. The Moon is a vital part of our still able to live here,It has been said that a prob, or craft of some type,, or something was sent and by accidently ran right into the moon, and they claim it rang like a bell, and could be heard throught the universe, like it was hallow, and something else, to as its true and real lead on what it is or not?

    finally maybe find out some truth as to us and the origin of space,and
    the billions upon billions of stars, and a way to far to count  of so
    many different universes. Super Nova, or what you all think?

    Bidding Higher

    One day a man went to an auction. While there, he bid on a parrot. He
    really wanted this bird, so he got caught up in the bidding. He kept
    on bidding, but kept getting outbid, so he bid higher and higher and
    higher.

    Finally, after he bid way more than he intended, he won the bid – the
    parrot was his at last!

    As he was paying for the parrot, he said to the Auctioneer, “I sure
    hope this parrot can talk. I would hate to have paid this much for it,
    only to find out that he can’t talk!”

    “Don’t worry.” said the Auctioneer, “He can talk. Who do you think
    kept bidding against you?”

    Although it may seem like Eons, it has been a lot long than I would wish. But Martina has her own reason, and life, Hope she will come through for us, but if not, I will always hold on to my special, and precious view of my own, of my most beloved teacher, I hope she is living her life, her own way, and is very happy with her plans. And to me that is the only and souly the way I would wish, for Marina, or anyone that belongs or are connected to this, and maybe me, I will say in this and a few following to the end of the end all, of the talk, gossip, putting down, misunderstanding, changing, questioning, ever little detail, words, everything and everyone seems to high and tight on this wire that was only meant to entertain, and be your friend foever, and not meant to be misconstruded, and distorted, and my real self as of right now, and always was truthful, and dead serious in my errors and mistakes, And my everlasting, love, and care, and only ever peace, happiness, and prosperity, living each of your lives as you see fit and willing. And I know and can see the good and forgiving natures in all of you, your spirits etc. If I could turn back time, and change, and take it all back I would, but in the judgement of me, you are getting to mistrusting, and trying to lose all the hope that we all worked so hard to get, and not to be questioned, or just thrown aside, and disgarded in a desert of your decisions to ignore and leave one of your best friend to a void instead of your favor, I swear to it, this is the absolute truth, I have made total and complete amends, so lets bury the past, and forgive and forget, like I know all of you can, and that is all I seek and wanted. No Lies, this well is overflowing, my cup runth over, or I empty it to fill with better ways of acting, and being my self, what I’m really and truly meant to be, I’m trying with all my might and will, to change, my evil ways, but if you look at it, I’m mostly an actor, on the stage, not the real person coming through as much as nearly as much as I want and will into being to put a end to that kind of treatment and behaviour, which I hate, and totally dispies. To erase it completely I would have to be God, or Super Human, or not human as we know it to pull that one off. I reach out for you all for to receive and give, love, peace, understanding, forgiving and forgetting, I know I can be overly active, and way to over emotional, it has been my curse, or problem since birth or creation. I know I have very weird, bizarre, strange, and the oddest ways of acting, and what I like, and believe and make my final stand, and ever hope to discuss this I have nothing more to say or prove to anyone. To any of the offended, or taken some of my stuff the wrong way, not the original meaning or intent, I will for the last time apologize, for any and all sins I have done willingly, or incompetent, and mostly a avatar ,character I created to be more dark, the most extreme, the biggest baddest, the most brutal, just like a horror, or freak, or creep show, how a creature or monster would act, trying to reinact this I saw and heard, mostly just from using movies, books, music, and my imagination, and take it to the highest, best at creating an illusion around this type or style of characters, when I play I play to win, to be the best, to beat and shock, and entertain like no other has, to do this it takes many to the up most acting, to create and make this seem as real as possible, was a very high goal, and hard for me to just let go, and being different, and seemingly unique, with others ideas, and stretch it to the fullest. But never to overcome, or betray my fellow man/ woman/child/ or any entity what so ever, never at all, never was this the case, only when I stated, and made good my words and actions from now on. But this will pretty much stop much if not all, because the real truth and reason, was to satisfy everyone, to entertain everyone, be everyones friend, and this bond is the strongest and most important to me than anything ever. So if it means disbanding, and slaughter, nutuered, and clip my imagination, and acting so much, that pretty much goes the act, and expressing myself goes to just the true bond, that I will always hold above and real and true, and meaning more than any of you might be able to guess, but I think and hope that you get that message, and only that message, because I never meant anything else, and this refers to the real me, I brought forth everything into the light, and is the absolutely and complete truth, and nothing all more than that! Okay to all of you, if your still listening listen to me now, I love being and talking with you all here at Hot For Words lessons, forums, groups etc, but if I’m disrupting, and making people guess what my real aim and only goal is, then maybe I did to much a good job at it, if that is true then I must end it all, and never be seen or heard of again I swear it, if it be your final wish, on my final stand, that I stand tall and deliver, and I didn’t stutter when I said that, or cross my fingers, or lie, never was my intention, Thank you all for your time and bearing witness to the truth, the promise I always promised and held true all along, if you can’t see that, then I can’t say or do nothing more, but just say they and I are human and at times we don’t know as to what we did in some cases, but I was pointed out and accused and mistrusted, far to much, and all for every wrong reason there is N. Oh the Caps I was using in a message if memory serves right I think to Camp, I kept stumbling, and falling over my words and thumbs so much that I tired of it and didn’t finish but if it be my last time I will fix it, then Bye forever bye the looks of it. It would take you guys to create, or bring me back, if not then this is truly the end of me. Damn I never thought I would have to do this, but there seems no other way. This is the end!, I was also being lacks and lazy, and gave into my emotions, so I had to let it go, it was the same, or at least I told you why the caps deal, I done explaining and justifying myself, no more need at least I sure hope this isn’t the case. To myself and you’ll and every being there or was ever, I love you, respect you, and please have ever lasting peace be yours forever. Good Bye! Transmission End!

    ….The secrecy of advances in radio technology was a matter of national security. First and foremost, radio was armed-forced radio. The U.S. Army and Navy helped nationalize radio in the United States by forcing General Electric to stop selling radios to the Brits, whose Marconi Company was setting up to colonize America with radio as much as any East India company. To sweeten the deal, the military offered GE contract for all US military radio production during the war. General Electric needed financial backers so it could continue its research and development of this new, potentially revolutionary, technology. The new standing-army and navy, with the recent institution of federal income tax, was willing and able to pay. The company that by 1919 was known as Radio Corporation of America (RCA) got its start by making radios for the war effort. Radio was a red, white, and blue native son, as patriotic as it came. For a while, it seemed the radio airwaves might become government owned-as they became in most European countries (and others), but Congress tabled a bill that would allow the military to maintain control of the radio airwaves once the war ended.

    So, after the war General Electric set up the Radio Corporation of America to help the military gain control of the American radio stations that had been owned by Marconi.   Whereas today, the army and the navy are often fronts for General Electric (Exxon-Mobil, etc), in 1918 General Electric was a front for the army. .

       Whether this privatization was the beginning of the military-industrial complex or what Obama calls a public-private partnership, certainly both the military and the radio manufactures benefited by the arrangement (and, at first, mostly at the expense of foreign investors).  sourced :    http://www.radiosurvivor.com/2011/05/26/a-history-of-radio-and-content-part-i-cylinders-to-45-rpms/   …What was the number one hit(of the year) of your “Today’s Contest”?…  i lost my train of thought…back to the farm

    +– Canadian uses forklift to remove squad car –+

    ST.
    ANDREWS, Prince Edward Island – A Canadian man was charged with assault
    after he allegedly shoved a sheriff’s car off his property with a
    forklift, police said. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Wilfred
    Doyle, 45, of St. Andrews was charged with mischief and obstructing a
    police officer, as well as assault with a deadly weapon, after the
    run-in at his home last week. The Mounties told the Canadian
    Broadcasting Corp. the law enforcement officer went to Doyle’s place on
    Prince Edward Island to serve him a court order. Doyle turned the
    routine process into a confrontation when he fired up his tractor, which
    was equipped with a forklift, and pushed the car out of his yard. Doyle

    +– Frying pan ends Florida couple’s argument –+

    NORTH
    NAPLES, Fla. – Florida officials say a domestic beef over razors in the
    shower ended with a woman’s arrest for allegedly hitting her boyfriend
    on the head with a frying pan. Mary Batson, 22, of North Naples, was
    arrested for battery after she allegedly conked her live-in boyfriend in
    the head during a noisy row that began over his refusal to let her
    borrow a razor. The Naples Daily News said Sunday that Batson denied
    striking the victim, although she admitted she slammed the pan down on
    the counter during the argument. Arrest reports said the dispute
    Thursday escalated quickly from argument to slapstick. The victim
    claimed Batson scratched him on the chest and face before going for the
    cookware.

    A man was on a
    beach when he discovered an old lamp in the sand. He rubbed it and a
    genie popped out. The genie said “I will grant you three wishes. The
    only condition is that you cannot wish for more wishes.” “Alright,” said
    the man, “I wish for more genies.”
    QUOTE: Success, Emerson

    “To laugh often
    and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of
    children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the
    betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in
    others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a
    garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has
    breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success.”

    There was once a man from the city who was visiting a small farm, and
    during this visit he saw a farmer feeding pigs in a most extraordinary
    manner. The farmer would lift a pig up to a nearby apple tree, and the
    pig would eat the apples off the tree directly. The farmer would move
    the pig from one apple to another until the pig was satisfied, then he
    would start again with another pig.

    The city man watched this activity for some time with great
    astonishment. Finally, he could not resist saying to the farmer, “This
    is the most inefficient method of feeding pigs that I can imagine.
    Just think of the time that would be saved if you simply shook the
    apples off the tree and let the pigs eat them from the ground!”

    The farmer looked puzzled and replied, “What’s time to a pig?”

    Count to Three

    A man and woman where on their honeymoon after a long and very happy
    courtship. On their honeymoon, they decide to take their horses
    through the beautiful mountain passes of Europe. As the horses were
    crossing a small stream, the woman’s horse mis-steps and jostles the
    man’s wife. Once across the stream, the man dismounts, walks over to
    the horse, and stares into its eyes. Finally, he states, “That’s one.”
    The man remounts his horse and they continue their ride.

    A bit further down the path, the woman’s horse stumbles when stepping
    over a fallen tree. The man dismounts, stares the horse in the eyes,
    and boldly states, “That’s two!” He returns to his saddle and they
    move on.

    As the afternoon sun began to set, the woman’s horse once again lost
    its footing on a mossy slope. The man dismounts, moves to the woman’s
    horse, and helps his wife out of the saddle the man. Moving to the
    front of the horse he stares it in the eyes and firmly says, “That’s
    three,” removes a pistol from his vest, and shots the horse dead.

    The woman, quite upset at seeing the beautiful horse killed, says to
    her husband, “That’s terrible, why would you do such a thing!”

    The man stares at his wife and firmly says, “That’s one!”

    About Two Miles

    A unit of soldiers was marching a long dusty march across the rolling
    prairie. It was a hot blistering day and the men, longing for water
    and rest, were impatient to reach the next town.

    A rancher rode past.

    “Say, friend”, called out one of the men, “how far is it to the next
    town?”

    “Oh, a matter of two miles or so, I reckon,” called back the rancher.
    Another long hour dragged by, and another rancher was encountered.

    “How far to the next town?” the men asked him eagerly.

    “Oh, a good two miles.”

    A nearly half hour longer of marching, and then a third rancher. “Hey,
    how far’s the next town?”

    “Not far,” was the encouraging answer, “only about two miles.”

    “Well,” sighed the optimistic sergeant, “thank God, we’re holding our
    own, anyhow!”

    The bad thing about boom boxes is precisely that everyone does not enjoy the same kind of music. Unlike young whipper-snappers, older folks, who have heard enough loud noise in their long existence to be over it, actually prefer for the majority of time no noise, that is to say, peace and quiet. And then comes along someone who could give a (see photo below) and disturbs their enjoyment of what little time they have left on earth..

    I will certainly look over that RadioSurvivor article. However, some of the information looks whack to me. For example, how did RCA, which started in 1919, get “…its start by making radios for the war effort,” when WWI was over and WWII was not to start until 1939, with U.S. combat beginning in late 1941? And GE certainly held no monopoly on military radio production in WWII; there was Hallicrafters, Hammarlund, Collins and many others. And that business of the U.S. being “colonized” by Britain looks funny to me.

    &nbsp &nbsp: As luck would have it, I am half way through Mark Coleman’s Playback: From the Victrola to MP3, 100 Years of Music, Machines, and Money (which has the yellowish cover, for some reason). There’s a nice summary here</a. After I finish, I'll look at RadioSurvivor.

      Your absolutely correct on that my man never would have likely thought of that, Very good thinking, and so caring of you! So good hearing from you, I copy and paste most of my stuff anymore, and they have gaps, I delete, or fix the gaps by using the backspace to erase the gaps, and it never sticks on them for some reason, but when I hit the post button then the gaps, or spaces come back, just like they were before I fix them, not doing this on purpose dude, I would have no reason to lie about that, or take something that far. Any tips or hints.

    The Big Debate

    Back ten centuries ago, the Pope decided that all the Muslims had to
    leave Jerusalem. Naturally there was a big uproar from the Muslim
    community. So the Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate
    with a member of the Muslim community. If the Muslim won the debate,
    all the Muslims could stay. If the Pope won, all the Muslims would
    have to leave.

    The Muslims realised that they had no choice. They looked around for a
    champion who could defend their faith, but no one wanted to volunteer.
    It was too risky. But they finally picked their representative, an old
    Mullah who unknowingly agreed without knowing what he was getting
    himself into. He agreed only on the condition that neither side be
    allowed to talk but communicate by miming. The pope agreed.

    The day of the great debate came. The Mullah and the Pope sat opposite
    each other for a full minute before the Pope raised his hand and
    showed three fingers. The Mullah looked back at him and raised his
    middle finger..

    The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around his head. Mullah
    Nasruddin pointed to the ground and stamped his foot.

    The Pope pulled out a wafer and a glass of wine. Mullah pulled out an
    apple. The Pope stood up and said, ‘I give up. This man is too good.
    The Muslims can stay.’

    An hour later, the cardials were all around the Pope asking him what
    happened. The Pope said: “First I held up three fingers to represent
    the Trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that
    there was still one God common to both our religions. Then I waved my
    finger around me to show him that God was all around us. He responded
    by pointing to the ground and stamping on it, showing that God was
    also right here with us. I pulled out the wine and the wafer to show
    that God absolves us from our sins. He pulled out an apple, reminding
    me of the first sin. He had an answer for everything. What could I
    do?”

    Meanwhile, the Muslim community had crowded around the Mullah in total
    astonishmen. “What happened?” they asked. “Well,”said the Mullah,
    “First he said to me that we Muslims had three days to leave
    Jerusalem. I told him up yours. Then he told me that this whole city
    would be cleared of Muslims. I said none of us leaving this land!”

    “And then?” asked a woman.

    “He took out his lunch and I took out mine,” said the Mullah.

    School Bus

    It was the first day of school, after summer vacations and time for me
    to pick up the children in my school bus and take them home again.
    After I had made the complete run that afternoon, one little boy
    remained on the bus.

    Thinking he had simply missed his stop, I started driving slowly back
    through the neighborhood and asked him to be sure to let me know if
    any of the houses or people looked familiar. The boy sat in his seat
    contentedly and shook his head whenever I asked him if he recognized a
    person or place.

    After the second unsuccessful tour of the area, I started back to the
    school to ask for his address. When we arrived, the child got off the
    bus and started walking away. “Wait!” I called. “We have to go inside
    and find out where you live.”

    “I live right there,” he said, pointing to a house across the street.
    “I just always wanted to ride in a school bus.”

    Very Old Age

    At his 103rd birthday party, my grandfather was asked if he planned to
    be around for his 104th.

    “I certainly do,” he replied. “Statistics show that very few people
    die between the ages of 103 and 104.”

    Party Entertainment

    A lady is throwing a party for her granddaughter, and had gone all
    out….. a caterer, band, and a hired clown. Just before the party
    started, two bums showed up looking for a handout. Feeling sorry for
    the bums, the woman told them that she would give them a meal if they
    would help chop some wood for her out back. Gratefully, they headed to
    the rear of the house.

    The guests arrived, and all was going well with the children having a
    wonderful time. But the clown hadn’t shown up. After a half an hour,
    the clown finally called to report that he was stuck in traffic, and
    would probably not make the party at all.

    The woman was very disappointed and unsuccessfully tried to entertain
    the children herself. She happened to look out the window and saw one
    of the bums doing cartwheels across the lawn. She watched in awe as he
    swung from tree branches, did midair flips, and leaped high in the
    air.

    She spoke to the other bum and said, “What your friend is doing is
    absolutely marvelous. I have never seen such a thing. Do you think
    your friend would consider repeating this performance for the children
    at the party? I would pay him $100!”

    The other bum says, “Well, I dunno. Let me ask him. HEY WILLIE! FOR
    $100, WOULD YOU CHOP OFF ANOTHER TOE?”

    Forrest Gump in Heaven

    The day finally arrived; Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is
    at the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. However, the gates are
    closed and Forrest approaches the Gatekeeper.

    St. Peter says, “Well, Forrest, it’s certainly good to see you. We
    have heard a lot about you. I must tell you, though, that the place is
    filling up fast, and we’ve been administering an entrance examination
    for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you
    can get into Heaven.”

    Forrest responds, “It shor is good to be here , St. Peter, sir. But
    nobody ever tolt me about any entrance exam. Shor hope the test ain’t
    too hard; life was a big enough test as it was.”

    St. Peter goes on, “Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three
    questions.

    First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T?

    Second: How many seconds are there in a year?

    Third: What is God’s first name?”

    Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next day
    and sees St. Peter, who waves him up and says, “Now that you have had
    a chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers.”

    Forrest says, “Well, the first one — which two days in the week begin
    with the letter “T”? Shucks, that one’s easy. That’d be Today and
    Tomorrow.

    The Saint’s eyes open wide and he exclaims, “Forrest, that’s not what
    I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I didn’t specify,
    so I’ll give you credit for that answer. How about the next one?” asks
    St. Peter.

    “How many seconds in a year?”

    “Now that one’s harder,” says Forrest, “but I thunk and thunk about
    that and I guess the only answer can be twelve.”

    Astounded, St. Peter says, “Twelve? Twelve!? Forrest, how in Heaven’s
    name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?”

    Forrest says “Shucks, there’s gotta be twelve: January 2nd, February
    2nd, March 2nd. . …”

    “Hold it, ” interrupts St. Peter. “I see where you’re going with
    this,and I see your point, though that wasn’t quite what I had in
    mind….but I’ll have to give you credit for that one, too. Let’s go
    on with the third and final question. Can you tell me God’s first
    name”?

    “Sure”, Forrest replied, “its Andy.”

    “Andy?!” exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St. Peter. “Ok, I can
    understand how you came up with your answers to my first two
    questions,but just how in the world did you come up with the name Andy
    as the first name of God?”

    “Shucks, that was the easiest one of all,” Forrest replied. “I learnt
    it from the song. ‘Andy walks with me. Andy talks with me. Andy tells
    me I am his own…’”

    St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates and said: “Run Forrest, run.”

    Unemployment is over 9 percent. And some people on the news say that
    this number is low, as many people have simply given up looking for
    work, or are working part time jobs, having given up on full time
    employment.

    But one man is not about to become a statistic.

    28-year-old
    Mork Encino of Utah hasn’t had a job in years. He admits he’s
    “generally unskilled” so he has created the oddest job for himself.

    Encino
    is offering himself as human prey for anyone interested in hunting him.
    Anyone with $10,000 to spare. Despite the price tag, Encino is
    optimistic.

    “I’m looking for a true Money Bags, okay? 10K is
    nothing to these boys. They leave tips on restaurant checks like that.
    They drop that type of scratch just because. They’ll pay that money just
    to rub it in my FACE and show me how meaningless it truly is to the
    likes of them,” he writes on his web page.

    Encino says he’s not
    willing to die for the cash. Instead, he’s hoping his website will land
    him a normal job. How, exactly, he doesn’t specify.

    “I’m hoping
    someone will offer me a better opportunity than being shot in the face,”
    he writes. Apparently he doesn’t know how popular gay porn is.

    Not that he isn’t willing. Because for an extra two thousand you can hunt him in the nude.

    *– Handcuffs don’t win at job interview –*

    TORONTO
    – Bringing a cockatoo or handcuffs to a job interview is a guaranteed
    failure, an international job placement company in Toronto said. The
    Robert Half firm published a summary of worst-case scenarios from hiring
    managers around the world about interviews gone wrong. Among the
    managers’ bad memories was an applicant who “came in for an interview
    with a cockatoo on his shoulder.” Other managers recounted interview
    shocks when a candidate sent his sister to apply for him. “One candidate
    sang all of her responses to interview questions,” one manager said.
    Another manager said he was taken aback by an apparent show of
    determination by a job candidate who “handcuffed himself to the desk
    during the interview,” the agency said in a release. Another applicant
    doomed his job chances by saying too much about his plans. “One
    individual said we had nice benefits, which was good because he was
    going to need to take a lot of leave in the next year,” a manager told
    the firm.

    *– Corpse forms ‘I’ in Ohio cheer photo –*

    NEWARK,
    Ohio – An Ohio woman said a picture taken with her deceased father’s
    open casket forming the “I” in an “O-H-I-O” cheer is a tribute to his
    love for the Buckeyes. Juli Miracle, who arranged for the picture to be
    taken after the July 1 death of her father, Roy Miracle, said the
    picture was a tribute to her father’s fun-loving ways and his love for
    Ohio State University, The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch reported Thursday.
    “I didn’t do it for anybody but Dad and I,” Juli Miracle said of the
    picture, which quickly spread across the Internet. “To me, it was the
    best honor and tribute to do for him and OSU.” The Rev. Mark Chow, who
    presided over the funeral at First United Methodist Church in Newark,
    said the photo was a fitting tribute to Roy Miracle. “He was a
    fun-loving man who loved to tease,” Chow said.

      Well I been decided thinking and rethinking what to say or do anymore, especially to my best friend, It is a shock, I never would have thought you would be back, now that you are for this little bit of time, Am so damn glad to see you back, Would very much like to get to talk or communicate on a more personal level, like one on one. I typed retyped, thought, thought, and thought, tripping, just not what sure what else to say or do, not hardly anyone here anymore, and when here, they usually opt not to take any time to speak to me for some reason, most of the time anymore.
       I’m glad you, Camp, and Ewan found their way around to it. LeoNaRd Where did he go. I was afraid of saying, acting, or sharing to much, and seem to much like I’m someone that I’m not. I get told and judged many times over to who people think I’m, what I’m really doing or thinking, what my real and true and intentions are.
    I think and hope at least you, or some would be able to see. I’m not sure if I should keep pretending acting out so much on my characters, and making believe the most powerful, evil type of entity has arrived, for good/evil in between above and beyond, or just alien life forms to us.
      Well I’m done, I hope you all the best, hope to see you again sometime. Neo wishing you all the love, peace, friendship, to you that is ever possible, and ever lasting. So long, I was thinking to many times to just quit and end this, but that would be to easy, and I would miss you and others to much, since this appears to be the only selected or cared for method of talking and sharing with each other, and even that is a very big if any more.

      Hey Venom, it is the greatest ever to hear from ya. Yeah Arch Enemy The more I hear the more I scream and dream, I don’t know whether to give a battle cry, yell at the top of my lungs, or have an orgasm , waoh that Angela I think she is hot, and she knows what I like. I see we got some things in common, to bad it all has to stop here. You going to see Arch Enemy, that sounds awesome, You probably will get back stage passes and everything. I have no problem with you or anyone for real, I just want to talk and see you as a very great brotherly love friend, and keep it on the down low, not bothering, and bringing everybody to our dance, many here don’t seem to like or get it, like we seem to do. So I see no reason what so ever to refrain.
      I’m sorry to you and all serious and putting up a shield is the only way for me to make it and survive, I got burned to a crisp every time, abused , back stabbed, ignored way to many times, and this is sort of my survival or instinct to live, and part act. Don’t get me wrong I have a sense of humor, and like having fun. Yeah I see LeoNaRd is around, but very conservitivley talking or  hooking up with me anymore.
    I still reach out and hope he comes, I have the biggest issue with trust, and letting people in, I put up a front, and it works to survive, when I put it away, and try to put it behind, and leave it be, smack I always seem to sliced, diced, cut to ribbons, and burned into cinders, after all my love, peace and friendship, I’m usually for the most part left alone to sail away alone, and it hurts so much , it cuts me to the bone. I guess I feel my act and survival holds a big part of this to just survive, and make it though somehow alive. People never seem to get it, or seem to want to even try anymore.
      I guess I exposed and let to much out of the bag, but only the best, and truth for you! Left alone, and everyone hoaring a very false image of me behind my back, or thrown right in my face, stabbed in the front, or leave me alone altogether, and I’m not sure what hurts the most the talk, or the silence, or so it appears, until I take a look and open up, and see what they really think of me, and want me to fall, or for dead. But I rise up, break these shackles, shake this cage, let out the rage, We stand tall, we are one- YESTERDAY IS GONE! It is also people like you that seem to make life worth living. You are the best, Please stay with me my great friend, friends until the end, or forever I say! Hail to thee, you are the best thing to happen to me, and there are a few others I’m still holding out for, but will they come, I hope so! Cheers m/ Rock On, and Metal Lives Forever!!!! Neo! Out! Oh maybe if you go see Arch Enemy, and get to see Angela tell her love from Neo! But whatever the case I only wish the best, and greatest life for you possible! See Ya!

    The first tourist threw his watch but heard it crash before the had
    taken three steps. The second threw his watch and made only two steps
    before hearing his watch shatter.

    The third tourist threw his watch off the tower, went down the stairs,
    bought a snack at a shop up the street and walked slowly back to Big
    Ben in time to catch the watch.

    “How did you do that?” asked one of his friends.

    gauntlet /GANT-let/ (noun) – 1 : The glove of a suit of armor. 2 :
    Two lines of tormentors with flailing sticks between which someone must
    run as punishment or initiation.

    “To get to Maude’s wonderful dinner we had to run the gauntlet of Harrison’s horrid before-dinner puns.”

    The first of today’s words comes from French gantelet “glove,” a
    diminutive of gant “glove” from Old French guant” (compare Spanish and
    Portuguese guante “glove” and Italian guanto “glove”). The word was
    apparently borrowed from a Germanic language as want- but, since the
    Romance languages did not have a [w] sound, that sound was replaced by
    [gw] (spelled “gu”). The same thing happened when Germanic “ward” was
    borrowed as “guard.” The second word that merged with today’s was
    borrowed as “gantlope” from Swedish gatlopp comprising gata “lane” (akin
    to English “go”) + lopp “running, course” (akin to English “lope”)

    - United Artists was formed in 1919 by early film stars Charlie Chaplin, Douglas
    Fairbanks and Mary Pickford more as a movie company but eventually it crossed
    into the record business by issuing movie soundtracks.

    - New independent
    record labels began to spring up in 1917 as most of the original patents
    regarding record machine and disc manufacturing had expired. Many of these
    independent labels issued early blues and jazz recordings, such as the Black
    Swan label, which first appeared in 1921.

    - General Electric and
    AT&T teamed up in 1919 to form the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) as a
    radio manufacturer. The following year commercial radio debuted in America at
    Westinghouse station KDKA in Pittsburgh, PA.

    1920s

    - Brunswick emerged as the most

    &spnb;   My sis’ PC went nuts last night (I’m dog sitting while the bro-in-law get’s his second knee replacement.) CPU usage went to 100% and stayed there, even after rebooting several times. It’s hard to do anything with that going on. Nevertheless, I started a SUPERAntiSpyware scan to see what it could see. It ran for over twelve hours (vs. the normal twenty minutes). It only found 26 tracking cookies, which is nothing out of the ordinary. Yet when I quarantined them, the 100% went away, leaving only the typical sluggishness. Also the HP USB printer had been out and that started working, too.

        I needed the HP to scan a Stanley Steemer ad to send to Consumer Reports. It proclaimed “RATED #1 BY CONSUMER REPORTS MAGAZINE”. Using their name in ads is a no-no and they were very interested in seeing it. I had to drop down to 200 dpi to produce a file below 25 MB in order to attach it to a Hotmail E-mail, but I got it gone.

        Meanwhile, Molly the dog got into an artificial plant and chewed it to bits. She is a German short-haired pointer pupply and will chew anything she can get her teeth on. Hats, furniture, fresh laundry, you name it. She doesn’t just chew her toy animals, she rips off the limbs and pulls out all the stuffing. She spends a lot of time in “jail,” her outdoor cage.

    Bad Brakes

    Jill’s car was unreliable and she called John for a ride every time it
    broke down. One day John got yet another one of those calls.

    “What happened this time?” he asked.

    “My brakes went out,” Jill said. “Can you come to get me?”

    “Where are you?” John asked.

    “I’m in the drugstore,” Jill responded.

    “And where’s the car?” John asked.

    Jill replied, “It’s in here with me.”

    Cooperation

    At one point during a game, the coach said to one of his young
    players, “Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?”

    The little boy nodded in the affirmative.

    “Do you understand that what matters is whether we win together as a
    team?”

    The little boy nodded yes.

    “So,” the coach continued, “when a strike is called, or you’re out at
    first, you don’t argue or curse or attack the umpire. Do you
    understand all that?”

    Again the little boy nodded.

    “Good,” said the coach, “now go over there and explain it to your
    mother.”

    Ponder These

    1. Does a clean house indicate that there is a broken computer in it?

    2. Why is it that no matter what color of bubble bath you use the
    bubbles are always white?

    3. Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

    4. Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that
    something new to eat will have materialized?

    5. On electric toasters, why do they engrave the message “oneslice”?
    How many pieces of bread do they think people are really gonna try to
    stuff in that slot?

    6. Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their
    vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it
    down to give the vacuum one more chance?

    7. Why is it that no plastic garbage bag will open from the end you
    first try?

    8. How do those dead bugs get into those closed light fixtures?

    9. Considering all the lint you get in your dryer, if you kept drying
    your clothes would they eventually just disappear?

    10. When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a
    shopping cart than apologizes for doing so, why do we say, “It’s all
    right?” When, it isn’t all right .

    11. Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that’s
    falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

    12. Is it true that the only difference between a yard sale and a
    trash pickup is how close to the road the stuff is placed?

    13. In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in
    summer when we complained about the heat?

    14. How come we never hear father-in-law jokes?

    15. If at first you don’t succeed, shouldn’t you try doing it like
    your wife told you to do it?

    16. The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans
    is suffering from sort of mental illness. Think of your three best
    friends, if they’re okay, then it’s you.

    you were a groovy chick, or are now a groovy hen, let’s get together
    and listen to my boss collection of eight-track tapes.

    MEMORIES: I can usually remember Monday through Thursday. If you can
    remember Friday, Saturday and Sunday, let’s put our two heads
    together.

    England’s West Country

    England’s West Country is known for its charming cottage- like shops.
    While visiting the area, my friend peered in through one window to see
    shelf upon shelf of interesting- looking books. So she went inside.

    A woman appeared though a beaded curtain and asked, “Can I help you?”

    “No, just browsing,” said my friend.

    “Fine,” came the reply. “But so you know, around here most people
    knock before entering someone’s home.”

    A
    man was pulled over for speeding down the highway; the officer came to
    the driver’s window and said, “Sir, may I see your driver’s license and
    registration?” The man said, “Well officer I don’t have a license, it
    was taken away for a DUI.” The officer, in surprise, said,” What, do you
    have a registration for the vehicle?” So the man replied, “No sir, the
    car is not mine I stole it, but I am pretty sure I say a registration
    card in the glove box when I put the gun in it.” The officer stepped
    back, “There is a gun in the glove box?!?” The man sighed and said, “Yes
    sir, I used to kill the woman who owns the car before I stuffed her in
    the trunk.” The officer steps toward the back of the car and says,” Sir
    do not move, I am calling for backup.” The officer calls for backup and
    about ten minutes another highway patrolman arrives. He walks up to the
    window slowly and asks the man for his driver’s license and
    registration. The man said,” Yes officer here it right here.” It all
    checked out so the officer said,” Is there a gun in the glove box sir?”
    The man laughs and says,” No officer why would there be a gun in the
    glove box.” He opened the glove box and showed him that there was no
    gun. The second officer asked him to open the trunk because he had
    reason to believe that there was a body in it. The man agrees and opens
    the trunk, no dead body. The second officer says, “Sir I do not
    understand, the officer that pulled you over said that you did not have a
    license, the car was stolen, there was a gun in the glove box, and a
    dead body in the trunk.” The man looks the officer in the eyes and says,
    “Yeah and I’ll bet he said I was speeding too.”

    Do, or do not. There is no try.

    Chinese Meal

    A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the “Chicken
    Surprise”. The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron
    pot.

    Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises
    slightly and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around
    before the lid slams back down.

    “Good grief, did you see that?” she asks her husband.

    He hasn’t, so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and
    again the lid rises, and he sees two little eyes looking around before
    it slams down.

    Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what is
    happening, and demands an explanation.

    “Please sir,” says the waiter, “what you order?”

    The husband replies, “Chicken Surprise.”

    “Ah, so sorry,” says the waiter, “I bring you Peeking Duck”

    Why is it that some kind of karmic/dharmic/destiny/fate or other social/domestic type of dramatic bad news has to accompany a monumental personal achievement just accomplished ?  (A balancing of mystery forces, so to speak, I suppose.)
    On the other hand, when one reaches the high plateau of a long sought after goal accomplished,,, a well deserved respite or pause is definitely in order !!!  Bravo on your successes Marina !!!  (in business and in residency)  We all wish you well, and a rest from the ‘madness’ of the internet !

    In speaking from my own experiences, rather than in trying to guess what’s going on in your side of the beach volleyball court, Marina; After an arrival at this new plateau, and a pause to catch my breath at the new vista of possible futures streching out before me, and my lack of vision regarding ‘what to do next’, or even ’what to dare to dream of next’ !, and an unsuccessful attempt to see thru the inscrutible transparent veils the future does decorate the days before my eyes, there is the ‘casting about’ to see what hidden and unrecognized talents might be lurking in the unrealized corners of my past lives, as having already been successful in several areas gives creedence to being successful in as yet untried endeavours as well. 

    Being attuned to hear the subtle voice/mind/thoughts which the Universe speaks to us thru, can be as like trying to coax thoughts from a musical instrument, or as easy as stopping all the inner voice and noise inside our head.  [emoticon smile] 

    As Yogi Berra said, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”

    Are you remembering to eat 3 avacados a week to help your hair have good oils and grow well ?

    {Sinification} or {Sinicization}: “the process of “becoming Chinese”… The term has been used in social science primarily to describe the assimilation of non-Han Chinese peoples (such as the Manchus) into the Chinese identity.”

    Han Chinese, about 90% of the people of China, occupy only about half of the country, the rest being Tibetan, Uighur (Xinjiang), Mongolian, and Manchurian; but settling of Han Chinese in these other regions is resulting in their “Sinification.”

That slot has the toasting sensor. The label is not engraved; it is stamped. Engraving is slow, expensive, and would ruin the finished surface of the sheet steel used to stamp out the parts…

    The Engineer

    An engineer dies and reports to hell.

    Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort
    in hell, and starts designing and building improvements.

    After a while, they’ve got air conditioning and flush toilets and
    escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy.

    One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer,
    “So, how’s it going down there in hell?”

    Satan replies, “Hey things are going great. We’ve got air conditioning
    and flush toilets and escalators, and there’s no telling what this
    engineer is going to come up with next.”

    God replies, “What??? You’ve got an engineer? That’s a mistake — he
    should never have gotten down there; send him up here.”

    Satan says, “No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and I’m
    keeping him.”

    God says, “Send him back up here or I’ll sue.”

    Satan laughs uproariously and answers, “Yeah, right. And just where
    are you going to get a lawyer?”

    Fun With A Wrong Number

    It was last Wednesday night, and I was sitting in my room watching
    television when the phone rang. “Hello?” I said. A girl’s voice came
    over the line. “Can I speak to Ben, please?” I live by myself, and my
    name definitely is not Ben. It was probably a wrong number and I was
    bored. I replied, “I’m sorry, he’s not in right now. Can I take a
    message?”

    “Do you know what time he’ll be back?” she responded.

    “I think he said he’d be home around 10:00.”

    Silence on the other end… a confused silence.

    “Is this Steve?”

    My name isn’t Steve, either. This was definitely a wrong number.

    So I replied, “Yes, it is. Do you want to leave a message for Ben?”

    “Well… he said he would be home tonight and asked me to call him,”
    she said in a slightly irritated voice.

    I replied, “Well, he went out with Karen about an hour ago, and said
    that he would be back at 10:00.”

    A shocked voice now: “Who’s Karen?!”

    “The girl he went out with.”

    “I know that! I mean… who is she?”

    “I don’t know her last name. Look, do you want me to leave a message
    for Ben?”

    “Yes… please do. Tell him to call me when he gets home.”

    She was sounding pretty irate at this point, and I could hear her
    temper flaring. “I sure will. Is this Jennifer?”

    She exploded, “Who’s Jennifer?”

    Apparently she wasn’t.

    “Well… he’s going out with Jennifer at 10:00. I thought you were
    her. Sorry… it was an honest mistake.”

    “Ben’s the one that’s made the mistake! Tell him that Alice called him
    and the she’s very upset and that I would like him to call me as soon
    as he gets home.”

    I smiled and said, “Okay, I will… but Becky isn’t going to like
    this…”

    There was a long silence, and then my husband heard the man on the

    Noise Abatement

    “Flight 1234,” the control tower advised, “turn right 45 degrees for
    noise abatement.”

    “Roger,” the pilot responded, “but we’re at 35,000 feet. How much
    noise can we make up here?”

    “Sir,” the radar man replied, “have you ever heard the noise a 727
    makes when it hits a 747?”

    You picket their hotel and they turn on the heat lamps during a 100 degree day. That’s the Chicago way.

    It’s a long way from the Pinkertons and the strike busters, but one Chicago hotel is not about to give picketers an easy time.

    Hotel
    workers at the Park Hyatt on Michigan Ave. kicked off a day-long strike
    Thursday morning to protest the working conditions of housekeepers. The
    strike coincides with housekeeper protests at Hyatts in nine other
    cities after 22 months of stalled contract negotiations.

    And they
    picked one of the hottest days in a decade to do it. Temperatures
    reached nearly 100 degrees. And just to make sure the picketers were
    nice and toasty, the hotel turned on the outside heat lamps above their
    picket line used for guests during the winter.

    “This is one of
    the hottest days of the summer,” said Daniel Medina, 42, a bellman at
    the Park Hyatt for two years. “I work at that door every single day and
    only in winter time do those need to be turned on. Somebody did it on
    purpose. It’s ridiculous.”

    Medina said the lights do not turn on
    automatically and that only bellhops, doormen and engineers access the
    room that controls the heat lamps. He said there was no way it could be
    inadvertent.

    Of course it was an accident. An oversight by
    someone. And as soon as the hotel was alerted to the fact that heat
    lamps were on they turned them off and handed out water…an hour later.

    *– Man crashes ‘lemon’ into dealership cars –*

    PORTSMOUTH,
    N.H. – A man said he crashed his van into six cars at a New Hampshire
    car dealership because the dealer refused to take his “lemon” vehicle
    back. David Cross of Salisbury, Mass., was charged with six felony
    counts of criminal mischief. He said his wife purchased the van Monday
    at the Portsmouth Used Car Superstore and he soon discovered the vehicle
    had major problems including a broken odometer, the Portsmouth Herald
    reported Thursday. Cross said his mechanic recommended he “take it
    back,” but the dealer refused to refund his money and told him he was
    “stuck with it.” Cross said he brought the van back to the dealership
    just before midnight Monday night and drove it into six cars. “I hit the
    first $25,000 car I could see,” Cross said. “I didn’t hit a car under
    $20,000. Then I moved a van that they wouldn’t come down on the price
    for. I moved it with the lemon they sold me. I just held it to the floor
    until I couldn’t move it anymore. I took out seven vehicles, including
    my own.” Cross said he flagged down a police cruiser and told an officer
    “the deal.” He was arrested and released on his own recognizance.

    *– 11-year-old crashes car into water pipe –*

    BRANDON,
    Fla. – A Florida man was arrested on child neglect charges after
    allowing his girlfriend’s 11-year-old daughter to drive, authorities
    said. The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said Donald Leet, 37,
    allowed the girl to drive her mother’s sport-utility vehicle with a
    7-year-old girl in the vehicle Tuesday and she crashed into a water pipe
    near the First Baptist Church of Brandon about 7:30 p.m., The St.
    Petersburg (Fla.) Times reported Thursday. Leet told deputies he decided
    not to drive because he had consumed a glass of wine with his dinner
    and had a suspended license. The girl told deputies Leet was teaching
    her to drive. “You are going to make me lose my job,” Leet was quoted by
    a report as telling deputies. “Why don’t you arrest a rapist or
    murderer instead of me. You’re an illiterate southerner. You don’t know
    anything. You only have a high school diploma. You’re dumb.” Leet was
    charged with two counts of child neglect and was released after posting
    $4,000 bail Wednesday.

    Merv
    was in a terrible accident at work. He fell through a floor tile and
    ripped off both of his ears. Since he was permanently disfigured, he
    settled with the company for a rather large sum of money and went on his
    way. One day, Merv decided to invest his money in a small, but growing
    telecom business called Plexus Communications. After weeks of
    negotiations, he bought the company outright. But, after signing on the
    dotted line, he realized that he knew nothing about running such a
    business and quickly set out to hire someone who could do that for him.

    The next day he had set up three interviews. The first guy was great. He
    knew everything he needed to and was very interesting. At the end of
    the interview, Merv asked him, “Do you notice anything different about
    me?” And the gentleman answered, “Why yes, I couldn’t help but notice
    you have no ears.” Merv got very angry and threw him out.

    The second interview was with a woman, and she was even better than the
    first guy. He asked her the same question, “Do you notice anything
    different about me?” and she replied: “Well, you have no ears.” Merv
    again was upset and tossed her out.

    The third and last interview was the best of all three. It was with a
    very young man who was fresh out of college. He was smart. He was
    handsome. And he seemed to be a better businessman than the first two
    put together. Merv was anxious, but went ahead and asked the young man
    the same question: “Do you notice anything different about me?” And to
    his surprise, the young man answered: “Yes. You wear contact lenses.”

    Merv was shocked, and said, “What an incredibly observant young man. How in the world did you know that?”

    The young man fell off his chair laughing hysterically and replied, “Well, it’s pretty hard to wear glasses with no ears!”

    Two men were
    walking through the woods and came upon a big black, deep hole. One man
    picked up a rock and tossed it into the hole and stood listening for the
    rock to hit bottom. There was no sound.

    He turned to the other guy and said “that must be a deep hole…let’s
    throw a bigger rock in there and listen for it to hit bottom.” The men
    found a bigger rock and both picked it up and lugged it to the hole and
    dropped it in.

    They listened for some time and never heard a sound. Again, they agreed
    that this must be one deep hole and maybe they should throw something
    even bigger into it.

    One man spotted a rail-road tie nearby. They picked up the tie, grunting
    and groaning, and lugged it to the hole. They tossed it in. No sound.
    All of a sudden, a goat came flying out of the woods, running like the
    wind, and flew past the men and jumped straight into the hole. The men
    were amazed.

    About that time, an old hayseed farmer came out of the woods and asked
    the men if they had seen a goat. One man told the farmer of the
    incredible incident they had just witnessed…they had just seen this
    goat fly out of the woods and run and leap into the big hole. The man
    asked the farmer if this could have been his goat.

    The old farmer said “naw, that can’t be my goat…he was chained to a railroad tie.”

    Joe, a college
    student, was taking a course in ornithology, the study of birds. The
    night before the biggest test of the semester, Joe spent all night
    studying. He had the textbook nearly memorized. He knew his class notes
    backward and forward. Joe was ready.
    The morning of the test, Joe entered the auditorium and took a seat in
    the front row. On the table in the front was a row of ten stuffed birds.
    Each bird had a sack covering its body, and only the legs were showing.
    When class started, the professor announced that the students were to
    identify each bird by looking at its legs and give its common name,
    species, habitat, mating habits, etc.
    Joe looked at each of the birds’ legs. They all looked the same to him.
    He started to get angry. He had stayed up all night studying for this
    test and now he had to identify birds by their LEGS? The more he thought
    about the situation, the angrier he got.
    Finally he reached his boiling point. He stood up, marched up to the
    professor’s desk, crumpled up his exam paper and threw it on the desk.
    “What a ridiculous test!” he told the prof. “How could anyone tell the
    difference between these birds by looking at their legs? This exam is
    the biggest rip-off I’ve ever seen!”
    With that, Joe turned and stormed toward the exit. The professor was a
    bit shocked, and it took him a moment to regain his composure. Then,
    just as Joe was about to walk out the door, the prof shouted out, “Wait a
    minute, young man, what’s your name?”
    Joe turned around, pulled up his pant legs and hollered, “You tell me, prof! You tell me!”

    A song about taking things a little too far….
    Remember her this way:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mql6pOhnPYw
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO4SznMGBwc …I think this was the peak, Afterwards the notes went sour. She just went too far to be able to turn it around and yeah, she was horse towards the end. What would be ironic is if she did start rehab but died from an accidental overdose of withdrawal medication?

    Have you seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAwp2FnRmsE&skipcontrinter=1 The video that Anders Behring Breivik supposedly posted on YouTube before he attacked Oslo City.
    Invasion of minute minute
    I definitely don’t condone the heinous act committed by this guy but there are certain points in the vid That I agree with???
    Certainly was rough this past weekend!!

    Some day,  Marina, might do a lesson, teaching about local government and how democracy works!  The journalist seem to work for the mass media establishments; and forgets what made the U$A!

    I think that’s a great idea leoNaRD, but where would Marina get some good examples. I did watch your link for “local government” and found the language spoken there hard to understand and in my opinion they didn’t accomplish anything in that three hour period?

    Peter Shiff on the Debt ceiling.

    I was trying to link the superman cartoon with your deal about journalist and the mass media establishment and that RT video from link “superheroes and how the buck gets passed.” Like maybe a time period when journalists remembered what made the USA? I do see your point about local govt’s having to rule lobbyists and corporations who are shields to bullshit. I’m baffled by the line “i think i’m under attack” though. Hope things are cool.

    Final thought about Amy:
    http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1668091/amy-winehouse-death-fame.jhtml
    Yes, she played with fire and got burned. A scenario that’s been played out many times in the entertainment industry. When you want to get smacked you lose your train of thought, your sense of balance. I’ve had three friends who got hooked on that shit ‘The Heroin.’ It’s the taste, when you get a taste of that high, you may think you can handle it and enjoy the high but still remain in control. That’s according to them. But two of them kicked the habit through strong intervention from people who really cared for them. Unfortunately one didn’t. 
    It was SO OBVIOUS Amy was having problems. But I guess when you sign a contract whether you’re feeling all right or not, the show must go on and there’s money to be made just like that last pitiful performance of hers, a sour note! They knew their might be a problem with her performing. I just don’t think the people that were close to her really cared, I mean really care, you know? But that’s entertainment, right.
    Okay, enough of that.

    Well, I wanna share this video. You may have seen this one because it has been posted for a few weeks now but I think this is fucking hilarious. And if it’s real even more funnier!

    Let the Revolution begin! Ha Ha :D

    I see you had a very quick visit! I seek you out as a mighty good friend. Which I’m starting to wonder and question about you. I know I don’t have the look, the name, I’ Am a middle aged male or fool, or freak, I think this is starting to be the picture made by too many that don’t even know the real me, or don’t care to. I thought you was way above and beyond, I see Amy got your interest, speaking pretty much the same way I do, pretty much the same thoughts, and your last visit, you only speak of a search for LeoNaRD, and seemed to have left me out of the equasion. Or not your immediate objective, Or seem a very important matter for you too do so.
       I have to for the most times anymore wait for a long awaited answer or reply that most of the time never comes anymore, And I have to go out an grab people to get their attention anymore, and that is almost useless anymore, if I sit still, and wait nothings going to happen.
         I go out to reach people, and that is nearly ineffective, or next to useless anymore. So what’s the deal, what is the real score, yes Marina has been spending very much, if not nearly all her time away from here, and I have yet to see a lesson posted for nearly a month or so I’m guessing.
       Well I will remain faithful and true to you and all, like I promised. I send out way to many posts for people not to see or notice, they say laugh, and don’t be serious, but life has led me to this, and keep pushing me down or back. I’m going forward, what you and others do is your choose, unless you made your selves slaves, or traitors, or turning heads, turn of backs, and to many things going on around here anymore, it is a unmisstakable pattern of people coming and going. Either for good, or only to talk and speak, with a planned sweep and planned people, whoever isn’t on that list appear to be avoided nearly mostly always.
       The pattern is so clear, A blind man could see it, and tell it to be so. Marina has taken a lot of people out of their regular visits, I’m here to be your friend of the greatest importance, when I reach out, and stand on my farthest reached out hand, from the longest limb, most seem or appear to avoid, or draw a line, try to hold me to a certain point, and no more, and that even appears to be shrinking. I tried illegally usage of drugs, but from my friend? It looked like plain ciggerettes to me but it was some hard hitting stuff, and was being treated, and doctored, with other drugs, Man I didn’t know, or even think this to be possible of my youthful friends and neighbors would do this. 
       This place has become a dog eat dog, every man or woman, or whatever, for themselves. To seperate is to conquer, make weak , and destroy, or deafeat. Sitting Ducks for a well oiled even though evil machine to most of us, to slaughter us just like the Indians before us, and did the Indian have to war, or fight for this land, or did they live hear before man as a whole race, contaminate this land, and the world.Man has it’s good points, and the race it’s bad points, to prepare for peace, is to prepare for war, no way around that if the world and history keeps going in the direction that it is heading or going.,
      You can’t make peace when some people idea of speak and acting is with weapons of great war and destruction, will something end our race for nearly the most part, or we ourselves or selves do that without very little if any help. Just some cold hard facts, that haunt and reflect, since we were given life. Now I have a joke or some jokes for you to show that I can joke, understand, forgive, and forget all trespasses, we are all sinners of somethings, at sometimes, no matter how we like to deny or turn away from, but to overcome, and forgive this is the ultimate test. I have forgotten and forgiven many times, and yes even some have done for me, but way to little, and way to far apart, if it ever comes anymore. I usually pay the ultimate price most of the time trying to follow truth, justice, peace, love and understanding, and loving and forgiving as the way to be, 
       Sometimes I question does the truth set you free, or does it cut to the bone, and lead us to a much quicker end, or can we live and survive, and find in ourselves first then others to totally forgive and forget, to let bygones be bygones, to give and take, this bond and oath visible or not, to never totally sever it off, and leave it just to die or what ever fate brings, burning bridges good or bad.
       Cutting of paths or others, is like to me cut off of parts of one self, with out any total cure, but time to heal, and learn to deal to live on without, if it really and truly has to be. I had many common folk, and many trained professionals try to get to to server and destroy, or ditch, or cut off good friends gone bad, and it led me to even more pain and misunderstanding, and labeling, and justifying and claiming myself as cleansing myself of the unwanted or evil, when now I look back, it would have been better to remain friends, than to just destroy that ever sacred and lasting, and most important things, this life has to give, friendship is among the great treasure and blessing we could ever ask for. I can still feel the cuts, and scars of these encounters, and People thought or think they always know best, that is that person, beast, or being to decide for themselves, but for me to cut off friends is to kill parts of oneself, and they don’t grow back, quite the same that they once were. I’m glad to see you here, I’m just wondering what is your plan and ideas that you hold for us. I say and will always believe, and see a real and true best friend ever. But your actions of late is just so unclear, and not so easily seen or known. I love everyone in this world and as far as life goes, does it or will the whole thing or whatever of live always remain, or is there an end to everything, just wondering what you think, or are feeling. I’m truly sorry for anythings that I may do or say to make you not like me. Please forgive, and forget, I know you have had many troubling trials and losses, and many bad things happen to you. For that I wish I could have shielded or stopped it all if I could for me and you, and everyone that would trust, and find the sacred heart, hold on and never let go for life, these bonds are the real and true bonds that one must not break so easily, it is much easier to walk, or turn away, or avoid, or dispell people away , than it is to receive and keep forever and ever, and no Virtual, real, fake, false, no matter when or where these bonds are made,
       I don’t find and try to desensitise myself that much to just shrug off and find the easiest way out, instead of staying strong and true, this is only a key that way far to little find and keep and treasure forever., and recover, and remain friends forever, this is the biggest  most sacred and true and meaningful bond to ever make, and a very almost like dying to let this die I meant no disrescept to you or anyone. And this is just plainly the truth and nothing more, I have any way have come to the conclusion that most about me most don’t care, or wish to know ever if at all, stay awhile and then leave, know I know how it feels when I cut and let friendships die, this was wisdom and knowledge to just throw it away, or disregard something, and make do some how. I still feel, and tears me apart inside and out to see, think , or feel, that I could have been so easily persuaded and talked into, and take the quick and easy route, to avoid, when I was sacrificing parts of me, and killing, and severly paying a ultimate price for doing it. So don’t take life and friend to just keep cutting people off, and denying people who even me questionably, and very strange and odd ways of me, maybe I’m to grandful, or acting out with great emotions, but that is me. Call it bitching, whining, moaning, groaning, whatever you want! You can view and decide of me what you and other like, if not already, I know to many are cutting this bond away, and act like it is nothing, it wasn’t real and true. BullShit, It is on my end, I would bet, or swear to it forever, no matter what other people do or say. I’m very suspicious and untrusting, been stabbed, burned, and cut down, and left out way to many times, so I know how both ways go, they both have their pains and gains, and right and wrongs, but is it what  that kills us, or cures us, one way or the other, why can’t there be more than one path,only one true and clear way anyway? That is only my way of talking, acting, being, I’m sure Amy is a very good person, and as you, LeoNaRD, Gunny, Me Lika Do The Cha Cha, Carl, Klaus R.I.P., Dez I just can’t remember or spell your character name right so that’s why I stay with Dez, nothing meant by doing this. Nicklas or whom ever the dude that you helped start our old group, gravityboy, or JamesSharp, Patrick, Marina, Gorby, You all here, and every where my main purpose and goal is to entertain, be friends, and be together bonded someway with everlasting love, peace, joy, and the highest most happiest, and best lives for all of you that is possible! You read into or see anything else. it is mere lies, because this is where my real and true self, heart, spirit and soul  will remain forever, nothing in this world or the next, or what ever comes or happens will ever move me totally away from this!    
        Neo Out! I hope to you my great friend, and others, oh I almost forgot and probably did forget some, or  misspell but not on purpose. PageDoll, Captain Jack, I still will post hear in the lessons, and forums, how ever I can express, communicate, and hopefully entertain, or have something to gain from me. If it be only one thing friendship and love, peace forever. Neo Signing out! But hopefully remain and keep going on with friends, or if you insist to remain or trust only yourself, or others, then there is nothing more for me to do or say, just try to see my only real and true points about all the smack talk, rambling, bitching ETC. Now that be BS but I’m I’m Me. That is the false or wronful part of me, my sins, I admit I’m a sinner, and no where near perfect, nor do I exscpect to ever do so, at least at this stage, and way life is for now, and will or why would this be it, one life, one chance, The be all end all, or forever going on, what does any of you think, if your still following and listening to the main message, and that only
        Don’t always believe what you see, hear, or are told, just use your ownself for a guide, or something, or someone, beings, symbols ETC, lead the way for you then so be it, who Am I to judge, not in my right and proper self. Damn it feels so good to just let loose and bring forth many sides, but only one true and really meaningful side, or maybe other sides, why does it only have to be one, only trying to stay open and clear minded about everything if possible, or at least as much as I can humanly possible. I Bid You All Farewell!  The Freak, or Whom ever you seek or look for is what you will surely see and find! Good Bye!!! Oh the jokes to long of a damn post will post below, just for you, but others are more than welcome to join in at any time I guess what will be, will be!

It looked like plain ciggerettes to me but it was some hard hitting stuff, and was being treated, and doctored, with other drugs, Man I didn’t know, or even think this to be possible of my youthful friends and neighbors would do this. 
       This place has become a dog eat dog, every man or woman, or whatever, for themselves. To seperate is to conquer, make weak , and destroy, or deafeat. Sitting Ducks for a well oiled even though evil machine to most of us, to slaughter us just like the Indians before us, and did the Indian have to war, or fight for this land, or did they live hear before man as a whole race, contaminate this land, and the world.Man has it’s good points, and the race it’s bad points, to prepare for peace, is to prepare for war, no way around that if the world and history keeps going in the direction that it is heading or going.,
      You can’t make peace when some people idea of speak and acting is with weapons of great war and destruction, will something end our race for nearly the most part, or we ourselves or selves do that without very little if any help. Just some cold hard facts, that haunt and reflect, since we were given life. Now I have a joke or some jokes for you to show that I can joke, understand, forgive, and forget all trespasses, we are all sinners of somethings, at sometimes, no matter how we like to deny or turn away from, but to overcome, and forgive this is the ultimate test. I have forgotten and forgiven many times, and yes even some have done for me, but way to little, and way to far apart, if it ever comes anymore. I usually pay the ultimate price most of the time trying to follow truth, justice, peace, love and understanding, and loving and forgiving as the way to be, 
       Sometimes I question does the truth set you free, or does it cut to the bone, and lead us to a much quicker end, or can we live and survive, and find in ourselves first then others to totally forgive and forget, to let bygones be bygones, to give and take, this bond and oath visible or not, to never totally sever it off, and leave it just to die or what ever fate brings, burning bridges good or bad.
       Cutting of paths or others, is like to me cut off of parts of one self, with out any total cure, but time to heal, and learn to deal to live on without, if it really and truly has to be. I had many common folk, and many trained professionals try to get to to server and destroy, or ditch, or cut off good friends gone bad, and it led me to even more pain and misunderstanding, and labeling, and justifying and claiming myself as cleansing myself of the unwanted or evil, when now I look back, it would have been better to remain friends, than to just destroy that ever sacred and lasting, and most important things, this life has to give, friendship is among the great treasure and blessing we could ever ask for. I can still feel the cuts, and scars of these encounters, and People thought or think they always know best, that is that person, beast, or being to decide for themselves, but for me to cut off friends is to kill parts of oneself, and they don’t grow back, quite the same that they once were. I’m glad to see you here, I’m just wondering what is your plan and ideas that you hold for us. I say and will always believe, and see a real and true best friend ever. But your actions of late is just so unclear, and not so easily seen or known. I love everyone in this world and as far as life goes, does it or will the whole thing or whatever of live always remain, or is there an end to everything, just wondering what you think, or are feeling. I’m truly sorry for anythings that I may do or say to make you not like me. Please forgive, and forget, I know you have had many troubling trials and losses, and many bad things happen to you. For that I wish I could have shielded or stopped it all if I could for me and you, and everyone that would trust, and find the sacred heart, hold on and never let go for life, these bonds are the real and true bonds that one must not break so easily, it is much easier to walk, or turn away, or avoid, or dispell people away , than it is to receive and keep forever and ever, and no Virtual, real, fake, false, no matter when or where these bonds are made,
       I don’t find and try to desensitise myself that much to just shrug off and find the easiest way out, instead of staying strong and true, this is only a key that way far to little find and keep and treasure forever., and recover, and remain friends forever, this is the biggest  most sacred and true and meaningful bond to ever make, and a very almost like dying to let this die I meant no disrescept to you or anyone. And this is just plainly the truth and nothing more, I have any way have come to the conclusion that most about me most don’t care, or wish to know ever if at all, stay awhile and then leave, know I know how it feels when I cut and let friendships die, this was wisdom and knowledge to just throw it away, or disregard something, and make do some how. I still feel, and tears me apart inside and out to see, think , or feel, that I could have been so easily persuaded and talked into, and take the quick and easy route, to avoid, when I was sacrificing parts of me, and killing, and severly paying a ultimate price for doing it. So don’t take life and friend to just keep cutting people off, and denying people who even me questionably, and very strange and odd ways of me, maybe I’m to grandful, or acting out with great emotions, but that is me. Call it bitching, whining, moaning, groaning, whatever you want! You can view and decide of me what you and other like, if not already, I know to many are cutting this bond away, and act like it is nothing, it wasn’t real and true. BullShit, It is on my end, I would bet, or swear to it forever, no matter what other people do or say. I’m very suspicious and untrusting, been stabbed, burned, and cut down, and left out way to many times, so I know how both ways go, they both have their pains and gains, and right and wrongs, but is it what  that kills us, or cures us, one way or the other, why can’t there be more than one path,only one true and clear way anyway? That is only my way of talking, acting, being, I’m sure Amy is a very good person, and as you, LeoNaRD, Gunny, Me Lika Do The Cha Cha, Carl, Klaus R.I.P., Dez I just can’t remember or spell your character name right so that’s why I stay with Dez, nothing meant by doing this. Nicklas or whom ever the dude that you helped start our old group, gravityboy, or JamesSharp, Patrick, Marina, Gorby, You all here, and every where my main purpose and goal is to entertain, be friends, and be together bonded someway with everlasting love, peace, joy, and the highest most happiest, and best lives for all of you that is possible! You read into or see anything else. it is mere lies, because this is where my real and true self, heart, spirit and soul  will remain forever, nothing in this world or the next, or what ever comes or happens will ever move me totally away from this!    
        Neo Out! I hope to you my great friend, and others, oh I almost forgot and probably did forget some, or  misspell but not on purpose. PageDoll, Captain Jack, I still will post hear in the lessons, and forums, how ever I can express, communicate, and hopefully entertain, or have something to gain from me. If it be only one thing friendship and love, peace forever. Neo Signing out! But hopefully remain and keep going on with friends, or if you insist to remain or trust only yourself, or others, then there is nothing more for me to do or say, just try to see my only real and true points about all the smack talk, rambling, bitching ETC. Now that be BS but I’m I’m Me. That is the false or wronful part of me, my sins, I admit I’m a sinner, and no where near perfect, nor do I exscpect to ever do so, at least at this stage, and way life is for now, and will or why would this be it, one life, one chance, The be all end all, or forever going on, what does any of you think, if your still following and listening to the main message, and that only
        Don’t always believe what you see, hear, or are told, just use your ownself for a guide, or something, or someone, beings, symbols ETC, lead the way for you then so be it, who Am I to judge, not in my right and proper self. Damn it feels so good to just let loose and bring forth many sides, but only one true and really meaningful side, or maybe other sides, why does it only have to be one, only trying to stay open and clear minded about everything if possible, or at least as much as I can humanly possible. I Bid You All Farewell!  The Freak, or Whom ever you seek or look for is what you will surely see and find! Good Bye!!! Oh the jokes to long of a damn post will post below, just for you, but others are more than welcome to join in at any time I guess what will be, will be!

    Eat Chocolate?

    A good piece of chocolate has about 200 calories. As I enjoy 2
    servings per night, and a few more on weekends, I consume about 3,500
    calories of chocolate in a week, which equals one pound of weight per
    week.

    Therefore, in the last 3-1/2 years, I have had chocolate caloric
    intake of about 180 pounds, and I only weigh 165 pounds.

    So… without chocolate, I would have wasted away to nothing about 3
    months ago! I owe my life to chocolate!

    21st Birthdays

    A boy from Duluth, Minnesota named Lars had heard stories of an
    amazing family tradition. It seem that his father, grandfather and
    great grandfather had all been able to walk on water on their 21st
    birthdays, to the boat club across the lake for their first legal
    drink.

    So when Lars’ 21st came around, he and his pal Sven took a boat out to
    the middle of the lake. Lars stepped out of the boat and nearly
    drowned. Sven managed to pull him to safety.

    Furious and confused, Lars went to see his grandmother. “Grandma,” he
    asked, “it’s my 21st birthday, so why can’t I walk across the lake
    like my father, his father, and his father before him?”

    Granny looked into Lars’ eyes and said, “Because your father,
    grandfather and great-grandfather were born in January. You were born
    in July.”

    Long Shot

    Standing on the tee of a relatively long par three, a confident golfer
    said to his caddy, “Looks like a four-wood and a putt to me.”

    The caddy argued with him a bit and suggested that he instead play it
    safe and hit a 4-iron then a wedge.

    The golfer was insulted and proceeded to berate the caddy on the tee
    telling him that he was a better golfer than that and how dare he
    under estimate his game.

    So, giving in the caddy handed the gentleman the four-wood he had
    asked for.

    He proceeded to top the ball and watched as it folled about fifteen
    yards off the front of the tee.

    Immediately the caddy handed him his putter and said, “And now for one
    heck of a putt…”

    Well, at least one person gave it the college try. The answer is: the label was Victory and the owner of the company was the U.S. government. The records were sent to the troops for entertainment, but I doubt that the government (or any body else) would be able to retrieve them after the war was over. If they tried to account for them, I’m sure that most would be “damaged due to enemy action” or some other dubious disposition.

    Haunting rhythm, I’ve always liked that tune and it works great in Cat’s Eye.

    You’re from the Oneida Nation, aren’t you?
    Will you take a chance and answer the call in New York?…. You never know;)

    The film ‘First Allies’ is looking like it’s going to be a stellar production and Historically correct. They do make a point in that most films that portray the founding of our nation seem to leave out The Indian Nations. But when you look at history books you’ll see they played a big part in helping the colonists in their struggle for independence  from England. I would say our country’s probably for sure not proud with what happened to the Indian Nations after this period. You know, with our Federal Gov’t and lots of broken treaties.:/

       Hey Venom, so good to see you! I skip the politics, and Amy Winehouse, But  ‘Crucifiction in Space”   The Ape Was A Great Big Hit
    RIGHT TURN CLYDE!
    .  The video’s of chimps/ monkey’s etc., where very good funny, cool, and to even boot real. Wow how you find such great stuff my man.
       Man that Chimp could have killed all those people, never hand a monkey a loaded gun. Chimps killing with machettes, who was their teacher  Jason! LOL! And they are still believed to still be around today?
       Man that sends chills down my spine.Chimps and their very awesome ability doe short memory is outstanding, maybe they are closer to us in some ways, like I have studied, and thought it as an open possibility, but this gets even closer, and on short t. memory, they seem to got us beat there. “Holy shit! You just split my brain like a serious atomic burst. Thanks.” Well let’s see what have we here. It’s easy to hurt but first… I hope we can get together soon and some hope, faith, love, peace, and friendship. For real man, I have always been and will be your best friend! Neo! Out! Peace!

    Yeah, maybe I should skip the politics too. But with all the bullshit that’s going on in the world and with our elected leaders who are about ready to sack our economy because they can’t come together and hammer out a deal makes me think that some of them conspiracy theorists who talk about the politicians from our president on down to our local reps and about their real agenda and the people who they really work for is really really starting to sound true. Sometimes I can’t help it if negative things affect what I want to write down here on this website and maybe I should change that, like there’s another place and time for that stuff.
    I’m thinking you probably can relate to that.

    You know, about Amy Winehouse, I actually had a genuine fondness for that gal and her music. I know I didn’t post anything on her till now (after her death), but to me it was sad seeing her set herself to self destruct mode a few years ago up to the present. She sure got a lot of attention from the media with that huh.

    Hey man, sorry about the atomic burst thing. You had a lot going on in your reply and it was overwhelming….I actually read it all. I don’t know what all you’re looking for to get out of this site. You might not be able to find everything you’re looking for, maybe not from me or others here. I don’t think I’m a good one to console in here in cyberspace. Maybe I can learn.
    Be cool Neo, k. :)

    Yeah, Disposable Teens, appropriate for {Revolution}! B-)m/

    Here’s something else, have you really looked around here on this site today. There’s possibly something wrong i.e Marina’s absence. And have you seen this by now?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLdWnarVIU4 ….You see anything unusual about her.
    Read the comments under the video.
    She seems out of character

    I also noticed there are people who haven’t been here in quite sometime commenting all of the sudden here on the HFWs blogs. I hope Marina’s ok….she may have quit this site!?

    ….wow dude, you got me writing long form.

    Wow Venom you never seem to dissapoint. You always come through when it matters the most. I’m starting to get concerned what I should and shouldn’t talk about, or bring up. But you do what you wish, I see and believe a lot along the same lines as you do it seems. We also if I’m not mistaken, I think we have a lot in common.
       I’m very blessed and fortunate to meet such a very cool and great friend. I never knew about Amy Winehouse much until you brought her up, It sounds like a very sad ending for her at least I’m guessing, not much known by me at this point, except she is a singer/artist, and you loved her work very much.. And you where merely expressing and being yourself. I love that about you!
       I try to do the same I may be more emotional, and such things it seems to me can blind, and leave me saying and doing things, I normally wouldn’t do, or say, I allow it to take me to unknown regions for me, and most of the time false.
       It’s so hard for me to express and explain. I mean no harm, but that usually more than not seems to be most peoples reactions, or way or perceiving me and everything.
       I couldn’t have said it better. I’m not quite sure on how to take this Marina video, and others released in a more secretive, and not directly to her own students and website, something seemed different, I just can’t put my finger on it. I noticed when I watched this one you posted a few more came up that I didn’t even have a clue she had made them.
       I didn’t know she wasn’t a USA citizen until know, she seemed so happy, proud, and amaze at get this. She was talking about a secret in Hollywood, that she couldn’t say anything about at the time, she did promiose to come back  alot more in the future to this here website, that lesson you bring forth, does have me wondering, and scratching my head, something just doesn’t seem quite right or out of place some how. I sure as hell hope Marina never quits this site.
       I get very personal, and this could be my downfall as well, and Marina being the main reason people come, but I think that is when you should be able to dig and find more than that. We are good friends, and to all I always thought we were cool, and have some sort of understanding somehow, to be left when this place was busy, with Marina here more, and with her absence I still get pretty much the same deal if ya know what I mean.
       I love Marina,and her family just as much as everyone else, but I try to find a lot more to this site than just that, and not only that alone. And to pass people on by very often, in good and not such good times. it hurt me, to see mostly everyone that does come, doesn’t even seem to be able to find a little bit of time and care to express or talk to me, or others.
       Well if people are talking more on blogs, why does your forum about metal/rock, seem to be left alone, or treaded by me, and all else just seemed to stop. I don’t even see you anymore visiting this forum. At least anything to suggest that anyone is coming by at all. Man I’m so greatful to hear from you man!
       Please don’t be a stranger, Come on back any time, and that includes anyone else if you want to or care to. Neo ! Out! Peace! I see another reply by you, Need to check it out and get back to you on that soon!

       My bad, I seen to replies in my email, and thought both from you, but the other seemed to be made by someone else. Well it was good hearing from you, nice, long, and so much appreciated. What are you talking about blog, is that the same as forum’s or what. My knowledge on this isn’t to good. I’m more of a one on one type of speaker, or a very small group.
       Groups aren’t easy, and are very hard, I been in many group things, and I always seem to be isolated and alone, forgotten a lot it seems, But one on one works a lot more to my advantage. No matter what I do or try, or what I don’t do or try, it all goes for not. Still I try, nothing more than I can do, than doing my best. Peace Venom, and stay cool, and hope to see you soon. And please stay in touch bro’!
